Hi, I'm actually using an ATI Radeon 7000 on both a 7300 & 9600 w/ 9.1 and its great. I've tried updating using the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 installers on the Apple site, but they won't run on either machines. If you are wanting to get 9.2.2 just for the ATI card, I hope my story will convince you that you don't need to do that. > First a Radeon 7000 then upgrade to a Sonnet G4/800 and sometime > *Real Soon Now* I'll install and startup using 10.2. Sigh! Ahh, I'm doing both! Its really breathed new life into my MACs. I actually added the Radeon latter and in all honesty, it desperately needed that.. especially for OS X! While OS X is quite useable on these old MACs w/ the sonnet and ATI cards, its still a bit sluggish in the window manager animations. you can turn them off of course .. but still I'm impressed at how well it did. I'm keeping jaguar on another disk but I'll continue using 9.1 for my sound editing stuff .. You may have saw my post earlier regarding my system *freezing* .. I was a bit worried that it was a Sonnet issue .. but, after switching back to the AAUI and just not using my macwireless PCI card I've avoided the freezes .. Macwireless is aware of this freezing issue (and apparently its even worse in 9.2.2 !) and are working to get it resolved. Stephen -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
