Hi.
I'm running a biege G3 233 with maxed memory. I just installed a Radeon 7000 w/64 megs - got it from Powerbox Technology on Ebay - and i'm pretty sure it's a "flashed" (whatever that means) PC card because the Mac 7000s only get 32 megs. I bought it to power my new Viewsonic 19" LCD. Install it went fine, it shows up in System Profiler, but for some reason, the display doesn't show my desktop. Oh, the pattern's there, but all my files are off the screen to the left. I know this because a few of the files I left on my desktop peek in from the left. It's as if my desktop is 5 feet wide, what WAS my desktop with all my stuff is in the center, and the monitor only shows the upper right hand corner of the desktop. I can't get to the apple menu to configure anything. Can't even see my harddrive.
I've tried both types of cables, the blue smaller head and the white Digital Video cable, and I get the same thing.
Any ideas anyone?!?

What OS are you running? I have a Powerbox Radeon 8500 that works fine in my Sawtooth, but when I was studying the listings by Powerbox and others selling similar cards, they seemed to all agree you needed 9.2.1 or 10.2 or higher to run the cards. This was true for both PCI and AGP boards.
FWIW, my experience with my Powerbox Radeon 8500 has been very satisfying - supports extended desktop, quartz extreme, both video out ports and runs like a champ under 10.3.7. Based on my research, Powerbox's 8500 cards are the most cost effective way to significantly upgrade the video on a Sawtooth. I've been thinking about a 64MB Radeon 7000 from them for my B&W, so I am very interested in how this turns out.
