yea i posted that in the PPCmla forum in the hacks section a wile ago. and i learned about it a long time ago in Applefritter.

its a real nice mod. At the bottom of the page he said that PCI extreme might not work cause of the onboard video is still being seen. i know that if you enable PCI extreme it will work but only on the card that can suport it, on the GPU that cant support it the video will still work (but only for the supported card( but PCI extreme wont be enabled for the GPU that cant hack it.

i know cause i have a AIO and a Radeon 7000 PCI with the onboard rage pro still being used for the onboard monitor ( i use the rage pro side to be used for IRC clients , i use the Radeon 7000 for everything else) i can say it works great and i get a nice speed boost with it enabled.

there is always a but, it can totaly hose your OS install if it dont take. and if it does take you can run into severe slow down issues.
