It's a Rage, very poorly supported in OS X, with no QE or CE support. You want at least a Radeon 7000 at minimum to get Quartz Extreme enabled (the 7000 costs about the same as a Rage). Perhaps a Radeon 9800 Pro or GeForce 6200 if you're going to continue with Leopard (these are the only two cards for the Sawtooth that support Core Image and Core Video). Here's an article that says the 9800 Pro will work unmodified with the Sawtooth, which is good, normally they require a piece of foil or solder to work with this era Mac. The second article is about upgrading the Sawtooth. <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1675583> <http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7991298> --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
