Is there a way to tweek the card so only 32MB are used? maybe that will help the card match the assumed 32MB version of the flashed ROM and remove the problems. This really erks me. What's the point have having a more powerful video card if the applications that needed the extra power can't even...

I got it from ebay. The title was "NEW Mac ATI Radeon 7000 PCI 64MB DDR Video Card DVI/VGA." Here is the link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5237753446

'ello, So I've been running Mac OS 10.3.9 on my G3 for a while now (a couple weeks) without issue and I decided to upgrade my video from the onboard Rage II to a Radeon 7000 with 64MB memory and PCI interface. I was hoping to get better internet page scrolling, better QuickTime performance, and...

Wow, that's really neat. I wonder why there isn't a "drivers" tab at the apple website that takes one to a message saying exactly what you just told me? Oh well. Thanks for your help. :)

h-okay... So, I use two different Macs. With the Beige G3, updating the video card drivers was a snap. It has an ATI rage 2 on-board video card, so I went to ATIs website and updated the drivers for that specific "card." Done. The other Mac I use is a G5 dual 2-gig beast of a jet engine...

Thank you, your assistance was more than helpful. I have many useful options now. I was just worried because I ran into major problems trying to get BOINC to work so I could run SETI@home and other such goodies. I could never get it to launch/my G3 266 processor couldn't handle it and so the...

Yah, but what if I somehow accidently activate a classic program, or leave a CD in the drive with classic programs on it and when I start up the computer the next morning into OS X, it trys to automatically open the classic programs? Any way of protecting against something weird like that?

Hello everybody! I'm installing OS 10.3 onto my Beige G3. If for some reason classic starts up through system 10.3, I don't want it touching my OS 9.2.2 partition and screwing things up. Is there any way to make OS 10.3 not play with my OS 9.2.2 partition? If I need to run OS 9.2.2, I'll reboot...

Well I guess they're quiet, but the dual processor G5 I'm sitting next to is about the same noise level as your typical PC. I guess that might be saying something as the G5 is cooling off two processors with the same noise level that a single processor PC makes, but my G3 is still much quieter...

Sound? If you're concerned about sound buggering up your Mac/music experiance, here's what you might do and what I did. Keep in mind that I did this to a G3 and so all the warrenties and support has long since expired. So no worries on my part. Take out ALL your fans and replace them with...

Oh, okay. That's logical enough. Yes, I was still talking about the G3. Thank you for your help. :)

If I'm in OS 10.3 and I use the regular "startup disk" application and choose to boot up in OS 9.2.2 at the next restart, the computer restarts to a grey screen and does nothing. If I'm in OS 9.2.2 and open the "startup disk" application, the entire computer freezes before the application even...

I agree. I was optomising an eMac at a High School and it only had 256MB RAM. Doing almost any task with something else running in the background was down right painful. It made my G3 at home seem like it runs like lightning, and it's a 266MHz G3 for crying out loud. An eMac has a 1.42GHz...

Okay, In OS 9.2.2, I can go to the "hot function keys" section in the "keyboard" option in the control panels, and make it so that "F1" opens IE and "F4" opens Mozilla and so on. How do I do that in OS 10.3.9? The only thing the keyboard options let me do is make hotkeys for the functions...

Hello everybody! I've got a Beige G3. I'm upgrading it to occationally run OS X and to meet my video needs. My question for today concerns the current video quality of my G3. when I play a TV signal or an external DVD signal through my A/V personality card A.K.A. A/V capture card, the video...

I installed OS 10.2.8 on my Beige G3 and everything works fine; however, the internet on the OS 9.2.2 partition is slow as molasses now. Does anyone know what's going on? When I first installed OS X, I had to "re-bless" the system file in OS 9.2.2 to get the OS 9.2.2 partition to boot up. Is...

Thanks for the $0.02. Yah I found that out when installing OS 10.2. It's really not a problem for me right now though cause I'm still going to primarily use OS 9.2.2. Right now I'm just trying to familerize my self with the OS X layout and have an OS installed that supports QuickTime 7. I'll...

I don't have linux on my Mac, I do have it on my PC though. I'm currently running Gentoo. I have to admit that my friend plays a pretty big part in helping me with installations though. He's much more code savvy than I am. But hey, the important part is that the PC is using Linux instead of...

lol, Linux rocks! :) Unfortunatly, the only thing I can select before the contingency window appears is the language I want the OS in. Oh well. I guess I'll get another Bran-spankn'-new Panther install package. I hope I can get a student discount.

My Panther OS isn't being used right now because I'm running Tiger on my G5 instead. So although Panther came with the G5, I'm now running Tiger on the G5 and Panther is collecting dust while not being run on any computer. Now I ask you, how would it be in any way illegal to run my purchased...
