I have a radeon 7000 in my s900. i find some issues. ( pls note i suspect this is the outdated hardware in the s900 not the card)
1. it can be a pig to get it installed and setup without a video card already in another slot. 2. if the monitor is off on boot up of the mac , then the screen remains blank, ( you have to have the screen on when you boot) 2. A i had to put spaces at the front of some of its extensions to make it boot to the correct resolution faster. 3. on wolfenstin, and alice, the screen flashes with a triangle re-draw, centred about the middle of the screen, ( some sort of timing issue), but i have this with an G4 upgrade from xer8te, 450mhz. & >500mb real ram. ( i have just upgraded to a patched version of 9.2.2, and not re-tested it yet) 4. it just won't work in some slots 5. i don't find it any faster than my twin turbo, sure i can graph it, but were talking about real world. i suspect that this is all down to 50mhz bus speed in the s900. when you say full screen, what res is that? steve -- > From: gas2 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>(SuperMacs List) > Date: Fri, 30 Aug 2002 12:55:30 +0900 > To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>(SuperMacs List) > Subject: [SM] Radeon 7000 PCI > > I'm considering getting the Radeon 7000 for my S900 to watch some mpg movies > on my 34 inch TV. > Does anybody have any experience with this? > What kind of picture can I expect- will it be grainy? > Will it be full screen? > > Thanks, > > gas2 > > > -- > SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... > > Small Dog Electronics http://www.smalldog.com | Refurbished Drives | > Service & Replacement Parts [EMAIL PROTECTED] | & CDRWs on Sale! | > > Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> > > SuperMacs list info: <http://lowendmac.com/supermacs/list.shtml> > --> AOL users, remove "mailto:"; > Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/supermacs%40mail.maclaunch.com/> > > Using a Mac?
