> advice before I begin installing a TwinTurbo 128 card into my 7600 mobo ? > Drivers, setup, etc. ? Any special capabilities for this card ?
Don't know what a mobo is but I have a 7600 and the card you mentioned (from Ebay with no software), I just pressed it into a spare PCI slot connected up a screen it and presto, my second screen was running. I was running 8.6 with an XLR 8, 333 Mhz upgrade chip. But there is fancy stuff. See the PDF manual on line at http://archaic-apples.shauny.de/files/mac/manuals/Power_Computing/pccmanual/ TwinTurbo.pdf Mine had an empty video ram slot - looked like the normal video ram that goes into the video ram slots on many Powermacs. It takes optional extra ram but not all brands that fit the Powermacs motherboards fit the card. The PDF manual tells you what brands fit and what do not ... I would not mind knowing myself what the effect would be of putting such optional ram on, would it make it faster? (mine is not real fast! In fact, to scoll a long list I flick the window to my other screen (on the video ram of my 7600) when I lose patience. Slow scrolling is the only limitation to bother me. Hope this helps and I have not completely got the wrong end of the stick! -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
