If it still has the white factory label on the back you can use the ATI 102 number lookup to id the card http://apps.ati.com/102lookup/ If it's a PC card, you *perhaps* might flash it with a Mac Rom. No guarantee, though. AFAIK no one ever successfully flashed a PC 7500 across to mac - some graphics cards just will not convert to mac and I think that's one of them. Maybe it would be better find a more Mac-compatible PC graphic card. Last year I got a (PC) Radeon X800XT card for just 25 pounds, and I think it might be flashed. The X800 is also problematical to convert. http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/macx800xtaqua-ma.html Certain parts of the rom are write protected if using a pc for the flashing - hence the vnc and panther - and the dvi port is kaputnice looking card though.

It's clearly explained in that page. Certain parts of the rom are write protected if using a pc for the flashing - hence the vnc and panther - and the dvi port is kaputnice looking card though. If I got it right, after the flashing the DVI port is still operational. It just outputs an analog (not digital anymore) signal, hence just VGA monitor (using a DVI to VGA adapter). Since I still own analog (VGA) monitors, it's no problem to me. Regarding the OP question, I mentioned my X800XT just as an example about buying PC cards for cheap (and not bothering much with the 7500). I still think the Radeon 9800 could be his best option. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

I did not see if the OP was looking for a card for a G3, G4, or G5 PowerMac, but agree that the Radeon 9800 is probably the best choice for all three PowerMac series, but for my dual 2.7GHz G5, I prefer my converted Radeon FireGL X3 256mb VRAM card. Some versions of the Radeon FireGL X3 might not work in the G4 PowerMac's, but some will, from what I have read and heard from friends. Although I own both a G4 and G5 PowerMac, I don't feel compelled to test my FireGL X3 by removing it from my G5 PowerMac and taping the appropriate pins to allow it to work inside my G4 PowerMac's 4x AGP slot. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

plug-ins update problem
Hi, Y'all, Using a PowerPC G-4 (3.3) Dual Processor MDD 1.42 Ghz machine For a couple of weeks now I have been getting a Notice of vulnerable or out of date plug-ins used by 'this page'. This page being almost any on-line page. I have not noticed any real problems on any of these pages. However, when I dutifully try to update the ones listed, I get a variety of info: Adobe stuff tells me Apple has its own Adobe pages or I am told that Apple Mac OS X Version 10.4.11 is no longer supported by Adobe. When I check into Quick Time stuff, my machine tells me my Quick Time player IS v.7.6.4 (SEE BELOW) and other Quick Time stuff IS v. 7.6.4 I did attempt to do Java plug-in updates but didn't feel like I succeeded. How important is this particular stuff? This information below comes up on a Mozilla page that results when I click Update Plug-inson the top-of-page yellow notice bar line that I have been getting. I DO update almost everything that comes from Mac software update pages. If this stuff does not need to be done or if it is usually taken care of by Mac software updates, how can I keep this yellow bar notice from popping up constantly? That notice is at the top of the page at present as I am preparing to send this eMail! Hopefully, TIA Jim Adobe Shockwave for Director Netscape plug-in, version 11.5.9 Vulnerable (more info) Update Now Plug-in Icon.
