Earlier, he had purchased an NVidia GeForce Ti4600 128Mb Card (a 2x/4x

made-
for-Mac card (not a PC-flashed unit).
The Mac card is called a GeForce4 Titanium or GF4 Ti for short. If
this card says "4600" on it anywhere it's a flashed PC card, and my
understanding is that this would also require moving resistors on the
card in addition to flashing the ROM to Mac.
You might look at these photos to see if your card looks like the real
Mac cards?:

This card should work in Leopard. Since you're not getting QE/CI
support, you might do a "kextstat" command in Terminal and see what
video card kexts are loaded. If you don't have any nVidia kexts
loaded, then you've got a software issue. You should be able to get
this card working unless it's got problems. If it's a flashed PC card,
you may need to "tweak" it to get it working.
