They still provide support at the Genius Bar for PowerPC products? That's pretty surprising. When you say "home page", I assume you're talking about the login screen when booting? I don't see how your graphics card could affect that unless there's something going on with hardware identification/initialization that is causing a delay. You could use a utility like XPostFacto to enter verbose mode on startup and look at any messages that stall for a while. While there is a difference between those two cards (the 9000 is a level or two higher than the MX 4 in terms of performance, depending on the specific model of card) there shouldn't be any noticeable difference in OS X itself, unless you're doing some gaming or running a really high resolution. -- [Greg Bennett] -Independent Carpenter, Electrician & Lighting Designer -Purveyor of Classic Apple & Macintosh Gear http://www.hsiprodsvcs.com/ http://www.macshack.us/ -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
