If you want to run Tiger in a stable fashion on a Rev 1. I wouldn't use
any slot for video other than the PCI-66 slot designed for it.
Which one is that?
The top short slot (32 bit / 66 Mhz)
I like multihead. I have twin 17" monitors and I really value the
extra screen workspace.
A lot of people do.
Slap a Radeon Mac Edition in that slot (or 7000), Put a 72 GB SCSI disk
in, a 2940 LVD card (the OEM Apple one), 1 GB of RAM, install Tiger,
enable PCI Extreme 3.1 and go.
[Boggle] If I could afford all that, I'd not be running on old free
B&Ws! I'd just go out & buy a Mac mini or something. However, you
can't do dualhead on a mini...
Unfortunately in my experience with the Rev 1. hardware, the SCSI is
not optional. Just find an old free B&W that happened to be an LVD
model. My Blue and White I bought new in 1999 for quite a bit + a 21 "
studio display. The RAM and Radeon card are optional I suppose. You
could probably do OK with a Stock Rage 128, 256 or 512MB of RAM, 9GB
LVD disk, etc. but you can't do PCI Extreme with anything but a Radeon
Mac Edition, Radeon 7000, or Radeon 9200 (model?) PCI. The original
Radeon Mac Edition is well worth the money and hunt because of the
extra texture RAM. I basically acquired all that stuff over a period
of six years piece by piece.
OR just save/up or find a deal on a Sawtooth, you'd be a lot happier.
(You can find these often for very little money)
