I pulled a 8-meg Twin Turbo and put in a 64-meg 3dfx Voodoo5 5500 and the normal appearance of windows and desktop remained unaltered. Running accelerated programs was where the extra video ram came in handy. Download MacProphecy, MacChrome, MacTunnels and 3DParticles and keep them handy. I have these four screensaver-type applications on my desktop and use them to test and compare video cards. Speaking of which, ATI is flogging the Radeon 7000 Mac Edition for either $199.00, $129.00, or $79.00 depending on how you access their site. In order to get the card for seventy-nine bucks you have to order it over the internet and send them any old video card as a trade-in. I ordered one on Monday of this week and expect it to be delivered today. I ordered the ATI Radeon 7000 because I'd like to install Jaguar on this old Daystar Genesis and the 3dfx Voodoo5 is not compatible.... M -- Jesus is coming.
