You would need to get the updated drivers from ATI's website. You can only use the card with 10.1.5 and up. It will run under 9.1 fine if you pull some drivers from the 9.2 update and move them to a 9.1 System. Or you could use the hacks at <www.os9forever.com> to install 9.2 on the S900. The card will need to be in slot 1 or 2 in order to function properly. If you are going to use OSX, make sure you set XPostFacto for the output >Radeon7000, and input>keyboard. If by some chance you get an extra BBOD (BeachBallOfDeath) in the upper corner, go back to XPF and have it boot in verbose mode.
By taking these extra precautions, you will find the Radeon7000 to be a VERY worthwhile upgrade, especially if you still have the stock IXMicro card installed. Now, someone double check my homework and make sure I didn't leave anything out.
