Older ATI 8mb Xclaim 3D Rage Pro(and 4mb cards!) are one of the easiest cards to use for installing OSX! There are no PCI slot or other issues it just works! I used one for OSX for over 2 years! The ATI 128 and newer cards are the one which gave ATI a bad name with OSX. They weren't really usable until OS 10.1.5 and newer. This didn't get mentioned a lot because they weren't available very often to buy and were expensive. Maybe it will get easier in the future but doing an install of OSX on a C500/600 isn't going to be anything like installing OS 8/9. People also need to know that at this time L2 G3/4 upgrades will not work with OSX. The 603 cpu (slow!)and the much rarer Zif G3 /4 upgraded C500/600 machines are the ones that can run OSX. later Will S -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
