Shouldn't there be some kind of performance upgrade by
Apple to support the people that they so deligently
sold on the great abilities of the RAGE pro.
If it is true that my only option is to change to
thousands of colors, this incenses me.
Can VRAM be configured to perform at a higher capcity?
Is there anyway the card can be replaced? I'm not a
big pc gamer or anything, but I would like to know
that should my fancy turn to a certain area , I am covered.
There's limited support; OS X does not support hardware acceleration with
that card, but the card itself works. If anyone was sold on the Rage Pro,
they didn't do their homework. It only remained the best graphics card on
the market for about 6 weeks after it was released. The LT was NEVER a
good graphics card. Whether or not the graphics card can be replaced
depends on your computer. but if you have a PowerBook (which I'm
assuming you do), the answer is no. And, in general, laptop graphics
cards from all companies tend to lag (sometimes quite a bit) behind their
desktop counterparts.
