I recently upgraded the video card on my 1.25 Dual Mirror Drive Powermac from the ATI OEM card which seems to be the same card, just more memory. 128 MEGs as opposed to 64MEGs.
Install went fine. The manual indicated that I should just install the hardware, and if it ran don't install the drivers on the included CD-ROM. In checking ATI's WWW site I found a set of drivers that aren't supported in 10.3.8. See quote below.
*"This driver is designed for use with Mac OS X 10.3.6. If you are currently using Mac OS X 10.3 (Panther), please update to 10.3.6 before installing. This RADEON update is NOT intended for use with Mac OS X versions older or newer than 10.3.6.
So, while everything seems okay how do I know what drivers I'm running on? Has Apple provided me with the proper drivers with 10.3.8? If not am I not getting all the features and possible performance hikes I should because I could be running on Apple OEM video card drivers.
I've always been confused between ATI card drivers from Apple v.s. the official ATI drivers on several of my Powermacs.
