Wonderful. So my Nexus ATI Rage Pro 128 card probably won't work with my
7600 under OS X?
/me curses Apple's name..
Oh well, B&W G3s are cheap enough these days.
Another question: how does interleaving work? Does all my RAM have to be
interleaved for it to happen? I have 2 8MB DIMMs in A1 and B1, 2 16MB DIMMs
in A2 and B2, and 1 64MB DIMM in A3. Will the 8MB and 16MB DIMMs be
interleaved, and the 64MB DIMM not be? Or will they all just not be
interleaved?
