Will, could you post a URL to this please? My Sapphire/Radeon 32mb card is here this morning. The Sapphire/Radeon 7000 32mb DDR PCI card that I bought came from newegg.com. It can be found on this page: <http://www.newegg.com/app/ViewProduct.asp?submit=manufactory&manufactory=1561&catalog=48&DEPA=0&sortby=14&order=1> .... as item number 14-102-247, "Sapphire Model#: RADEON 7000 32M PCI". The price is $44, which includes FedEx delivery. The back of the card has a label identifying it as: Radeon 7000 32mb DDR PCI PN 1024-2C02-00-SA Pictures of it can be seen here: <http://www.newegg.com/app/Showimage.asp?image=14-102-247-01.jpg/14-102-247-02.jpg/14-102-247-03.jpg> The card comes as a "bulk item"; that is, no manual, software, or anything other than a static resistant wrapper. I haven't gotten it to a PC yet. Just as well, as I probably don't have the correct ROM file for it. However, I installed it into a free PCI slot on my s900 to see how it would show up using various tools to check the PCI bus. Apple System Profiler was unable to see the card on my SuperMac s900 clone - but this is because the unique technical design of the s900's 6-slot PCI bus "misleads" ASP into not seeing all 6 slots. A utility called "PCI Prober" reports the following: Vendor ID: 0x1002=4098 Device ID: 0x5159=20825 XLR8's "PowerControl" reports the card as: display pci174b,7c02 Will, is there any way to specifically identify the correct ROM that must be used for the Sapphire 32mb?
