After failing to flash this card into my mac I want to sell it. It has an advertised core speed of 250mhz and 3.6ns ram, the card looks identical to the radeon mac edition. The problem was there were artifacts on the screen and the card reported only having 32megs of ram. If someone would want to buy it from meand take it to try and flash it in a pc or even put the pc8500 rom back on the card (which I have and can send to you) that would be great. I will take the best offer.

So, do I understand that the card does work with the mac, it just has artifacts and doesn't show up the right memory? What kinda price were you thinking, of, I might try to wedge it into my cube .

Try flashing it with the 230/230 ROM to get it to work. I've read that THAT is what the LEs use in Macs.

Yeah, tweaking the rom might do it. But I don't know if it'll fit in the cube either .
