Thanks, everyone, for your advice! I successfully swapped out the video cards this afternoon; it only took 10 minutes. Some applications seem to take a little more time to open or close, but everything seems to be working fine as of now. I appreciate the experience of this group many thanks

Swap out video cards: G4 867 dual into G4 1.25 dual?

Can I take out the video card from my G4 867 dual MDD that has been sitting idle for 6-7 years and install it in my G4 1.25 dual MDD? The Apple genius bar person was pretty sure that the video card on the 1.25 dual G4 is causing the symptoms I've been having: long time on the solid blue

By "home page", I mean my "desktop"... I'm the only user on this computer, so I don't log in. The Apple person said the the graphics card is the last thing to "boot up" ... I'm not sure that's the term he used, but he said that's why the blue screen is taking so long. It wouldn't hurt to change

Re: Swap out video cards: G4 867 dual into G4 1.25 dual?

I haven't changed any components recently. What do you mean "dump" ? Hold the button down? Also, a year or so ago I purchased a new PRAM battery, but didn't install it. Would this be a good time to do that, and if so, the battery first, or the video card? Mira On Saturday, October 24, 2015,

Re: Swap out video cards: G4 867 dual into G4 1.25 dual?

Does that machine have a PRAM and CUDA button? If so dump both no matter what you do. It could just be old settings and config causing problems. Especially if you have changed any components recently. Adrian D'Alessio aka; Fluxstringer fluxstrin...@gmail.com

I have two video cards. ATI Radeon 9000 Pro and nVidia A74. Which one is better? Can I swap the Radeon from the G4 MDD 1.42Ghz with the nVidia which was in the Quicksilver? I am not sure specs in the Quicksilver except 1.5GB PC133 memory. CPU unknown. Mac unable to boot. -- You received

Hello David! I suppose what you're proposing could work. I don't know if the software exists for Macintosh to flash graphics cards, though. I recently flashed a Geforce FX5500 to a FX5200, but had to use a PC to get it done, as the software required an x86-compatible system. Greetings, Eelco.
