Re: G5 Dual 1.8Ghz video questions

2008-11-14 Thread dc

For the money it's hard to be a GeForce 6200/256MB that has been re-
flashed to work in a Mac. I have one in my G5 DP 1.8 and it runs
flawlessly, core image  quartz extreme are hardware enabled. I paid
about $40 for the PC card then flashed it in an old Dell PC; if you
buy one ready-made they run $75-100.

A bit away from the topic ... but ... What info do you have on the  
flashing?

I'd like to find a PCI cards for my Macs ... 7000 and 9200s by ATI,  
but PCI they need to be, and flash them for the Macs.

I bought a flashed Radeon 9700 Pro for my dual G5, and it's worked  
flawlessly. I know, I know, I could've flashed it myself, but I  
didn't have an AGP Windows PC to do the flashing with, nor did I feel  
competent enough to determine whether or not I had a 128KB EEPROM. I  
can't comment on how the Nvidia 6200 would work, but at one point I  
did have a flashed GeForce 3 in a Quicksilver - no problems there  
either.

Good luck, whatever you decide to buy. I think the only retail Mac  
card is the 9800 Pro. However, you should be able to find at least a  
handful of real Mac cards on eBay, though they'll most likely be used.
