Radeon 9600 in MDD FW800 G4?
Posted by: aphetica on 2009-09-20 10:35:59
I did a search, but I couldn't really find the information I needed.

I don't really know a lot about video cards... bear with me.

I have a Sapphire Radeon 9600 Pro Atlantis card with 256MB DDR + 4x/8x agp for a PC. Is it possible to flash this card for use in my MDD FW800 G4?

Right now I am running a GeForce Ti4600 / 128mb.

System specs:

MDD FW800 G4 Dual 1.42gHz

2GB ram

10.4.11

I have that same card (or similiar anyhow) and iirc you need to tape pins, but that is only if it would work the sapphire card I had had the cheaper bios chips or w/e and could not be flashed. I'm pretty sure that is the same one I had aswell.
