Hello all,

I installed a 16mb ATI Rage 128 PCI card on my old PowerMac 7600, just to play around with. I installed 4x4 Evo 2, but it says it doesn't see a 3d card installed, yet the ATI display control panel does, so does Apple system profiler...any ideas? I've tried running just OS 9.2.2 extensions, etc, no dice.

Thanks in advance,
Tom

A friend has a problem with the same ATI and his desktop old PowerMac G3:

But, I fear that even you can have the ATI 128 working, that game will be slooow to be even playable in your Mac.

Hey Tom,

I also have a 7600 I play around with, and I've installed a Radeon 7000 that has some kick to it for a PCI graphic card. I don't know if it'll run Evo, though. Did you check the minimum system quals for the game?

The 7600 is a great machine!

i might guess that the min specs call for something with 32mb min, not sure though

I actually had the game running a few weeks ago when I first installed the card, and it ran fine, sure, graphics were turned down and all, but it ran ok, I could actually drive. Besides, I'm used to a Rev. C iMac with a whopping 6 mb of Vram, having 16mb to work with was like a dream come true, albeit short lived. Anyway, I have removed the card and tossed any software that was installed for it, and I am going to try again from scratch...wish me luck.
