Hi, just a further note to the last stated prob: "Recently bought a 20" LCD screen. Had to get a card to run it. Did this, (ATI RADEON 7000 MAC 64MB) and got the ATI driver update installer, updated my system to 9.2.1 and then 9.2.2 and the monitor fired up at last on my 7600 Mac (I run a VGA CRT and the LCD on DVI on same card, extended desktop). Looks brilliant. And now i can scroll super fast compared to the old Twin turbos I had...
But, and this is a killer for me as I work on this machine, I get a fair few "out of memory" notices now (in spite of 832 real ram that passes all tests I know and has been so reliable for so long - VM on or off is not anything relevant). In fact I am reminded of all the symptoms I used to have before seriously improving the ram years back. I cannot have Illustrator and Photoshop and stuff open *and* do serious work any more. I need to talk to someone who has 9.2.1 or 9.2.2 who also has a fair amount of memory but which works fine. Be good if they also have an ATI card. Got to sort out all the extensions I probably don't need (lots are new to me since the OS upgrade and the ATI upgrade drivers...). Ideas folks?" I dropped a lot of exts since above but it has made no difference to the above prob. If anyone has a clue on this, appreciate an off list missive (the list won't arrive till tomorrow if things go as usual). Am not wanting to but I am seriously thinking to go back to 9.1 today and putting back the old CRT and yanking this nice fancy card out of the 7600 and 9.2.2 and all. Pressure of work! I need my memory back properly! (I can test the whole thing at more leisure on a 7300. But what a palaver! No wonder I took years to go from 8.6, more years to go to 9.1 from 9.0.4 Only this, possibly over hasty, purchase of an LCD screen forced my hand to more than 9.1) David Elmo -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
