ok...i'm new here...
i heard that you can change the flash data on a PC ATI Radeon 8500 PC version so that it has the mac drivers, etc.
Would this work for the 128 MB version of the chip?
i'm asking because the Mac version only goes up to 64 MB, so the drivers might not work...
any ideas thankx

Graphics card would normally be a peripherals topic, but it so happens that the discussion of flashing the 8500 is machine-specific enough that it started (and continues) in the power mac forum. the thread is here. anyway, the last time i was in there nobody was flashing the 128 MB version reliably, but there might be some new developments since.
