Tim, xl8ryourmac.com has a page with info regarding flashing Geforce cards. Also this is a mail from this same list from the 17th of December 2001 with another and more usefull URL: -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Using NVIDIA Wintel PCI cards in Macintosh Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2001 00:15:33 -0800 From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> (PCI PowerMacs) NVIDIA's official stance about using Wintel PCI cards in Macintosh from the GeForce3 Program Manger, "We do not want to encourage or enable end users to use PC boards on Macintoshes."

Hercules GeForce 2 MX AGP ELSA Gladiac MX AGP Leadtek Winfast GeForce 2 MX AGP Dell OEM GeForce 2 MX AGP ASUS V7100 -GeForce 2MX AGP The following cards don't even need to be flashed and work right out of the box!: Creative Labs 3D Blaster Annihilator 2 MX PCI (Works with or without a card in the AGP slot, but might have QuickTime conflicts if there is, meaning no sound)) Hercules GeForce 2 MX PCI (dont know about the conflics on this one) Many GeForce3 Cards have a MacOS note on there System Requiremnts.
