Thank you!
One of the reasons for the upgrade to the G-4 was the inability of the
G-3 to do multiple processors... It was intended to be a consumer
level chip as opposed to a pro level processor... Consequently it's
long life in the iMac & iBook lines.

Hello!
I'm going to look into some other things with this card tonight when I
get home from work.
One thing I hope is that I didn't actually damage the card in some way
and for some reason I don't think I did, but I'm going to look into
some things like the firmware, software reinstall for the car

32mb card and it runs fine with OS9.1
It has Office '98 , Daisy Maths 4, KidsPix deluxe, Me and My Horse and a couple
of other programs she uses that I can't recall. She loves it.

I very happy to report the lines have gone away after following Tom's
(OWC) directions:

I did a PMU reset and NVRAM reset.
( minus PRAM reset) and now everything seems fine in Mac OS 9! I also

I'm having no luck trying to get the heatsink off the card. Any tips
on how to get this thing off?
The nipples don't want to twist off and they're too wide to go back
through the holes on the card.
It looks like the compound is epoxy too - like a glob of tooth paste.
Is this worth going on with thi
ions from PC mod sites that are compatible with a 9200 PCI
card. I do have some MX-2 handy and I've used it before. So what
you're suggesting sounds very logical. It doesn't seem economical to
just throw it out without some handy work done first!
Thanks so much for all the help!! :)

neffective over time leading to the
card overheating and exhibiting symptoms like yours, so a clean and
reapplication can fix that or a better solution is to replace the heatsink with
a fan.

.. I'm not sure about all this with yours because of the PC vs the
Apple??? I'm just guessing here, maybe someone else might have a better idea on
whats going on with yours???

Well, I swapped the 9200 with the Rage 128 and the graphics issue
seems to be gone. I guess the 9200 is about toast.
Though I should have a second spare GPU PCI card for this. I just won
another G4 (AGP) on eBay and it has two GPUs, one in the AGP slot and
one in the PCI slot. So, a spare may not b
