Have you updated the rom at all with an ATI updater? Alot of the agp
Radeon 7000 cards I've come across have been 150/150 (300mhz Ramdac) core
and clock speed in original PC state but they are flashed using the pci mac
rom which is 183/183 standard. With these slow cards the pci rom needs to be
downclocked to at least 166/166 - perhaps lower - to avoid artifacts when
flashed into an agp Radeon 7000.
Using an ATI rom updater on one of these flashed cards will return the
core and memory speed to 183/183 and may cause severe artifacts depending
upon the capability of the card.
There is a free program which will allow you to reclock the speeds and
reflash the card in your mac under Panther - downclocking may solve the
problem if it is artifacts - kernel panic I'm not sure...
