Yes, my mistake on the model of the card - Somehow I changed the 9 to
a 7.  Sorry about that.
The computer is: Apple Power Macintosh G4 800 DP (Quicksilver)
The video card is:  128MB ATI Radeon 9800pro AGP 8x Video Card VGA/DVI/
TV 109-a07500-00

I know in the PC world (Linux/Windows) if you have the wrong drivers,
you may get 800X600.  This is doing 1920X1000+.  I didn't install any
drivers for it.
With it out of the system, I did turn the fan and it was not spinning
freely so I spun it with my finger for a while and seemed to loosen
up.
I'll put it  back in and fire it up with the system open so I can see
if the fan runs.
