Well, I am now the (happy?) owner of a GeForce 5200. It's on its way. Now, should I be able to flash this guy with just a G3 or ion my MDD using Graphiccelerator? I ask because I found the following somewhere:
"To be able to use the nVidia flasher on the Mac OS X, a Geforce card must already have a Mac ROM file in it. If a card already has a Mac ROM in it, you can flash a different Mac ROM file or a PC ROM file into it on the Mac. However, if you are flashing a PC Geforce 2 MX card and you have an AGP 2X (Sawtooth or Gigabit) Mac or the Cube, a card does not have to have a Mac ROM file in it before you can flash it on the Mac" Needless to say this causes me some concern. -carlos On May 14, 7:05 pm, dc <dbc...@verizon.net> wrote: > On May 12, 10:17 pm, Kris Tilford <ktilfo...@cox.net> wrote: > > > The best possible PCI card for a PCI Mac is the nVidia GeForce FX6200 that > > are the only PCI cards that can enable Core Graphics.
