When I first built my unsupported OS X machine, the first non-stock video card I put in it was a Voodoo 3 (flashed for a Mac), and it worked, even in Jaguar. Now, I don't think OS X "knew" it was a Voodoo card, and thus loaded Voodoo-specific drivers- it probably just seen it as a generic video card, but I do know that it worked, and it seen and used it's extra memory as well. I used it for a month or so, until I got my Radeon 7000. I know that you get no graphics acceleration whatsoever with a Voodoo card in OS X, and while the Voodoo 3 definitely worked better than the stock card that was in the system when I very first installed, when I switched to the Radeon, it was a HUGE improvement. So, yeah, a Voodoo 3 can be used, but I'd only use one if you have nothing else better than the stock card. -Stace -- Unsupported OS X is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Unsupported OS X list info <http://lowendmac.com/lists/unsupported.html> --> 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/unsupportedosx%40mail.maclaunch.com/> Using a Mac?
