Does anyone of you own this card and still use OS9?
My 7000 PCI is incompatible with Mozilla and also causes some system hangs with Internet Explorer.
When I visit www.cami.be my G3 Beige (with G4 ZIF) always locks up. I have to restart. A bug in the ATI drivers or in the ATI card. When I disable video acceleration, the problem is gone, but then the video is unacceptable slow.
I also had severe hard disk damage after several system hangs.
Perhaps this trouble is gone with the new ATI card?
Can anyone confirm this? And is the card also faster in 2D acceleration?

TIA

I've ran my Beige G3 (which I don't own anymore) with the stock graphics, a PC-flashed Voodoo 3 card, and a Radeon PCI (original Mac edition) under OS 9 with no problems. I suspect that machine is having other issues.

Now that I've mentioned Voodoo, I wish 3dfx was still around, it'd be nice having a real 3rd choice for grafx cards.

Oh, I'm off-topic, going away now....

I have a G4 AGP with a Radeon 7000 PCI for the 3rd monitor. It is stable in both OS 9 and OS X. Acceleration is on, the PCI QE hack has sometimes been on. The QE hack produced graphics glitches a couple times, but normal acceleration never did. I have not noticed the corruption since the latest firmware update (see below), but the QE hack has been off for most of the time since applying the update.

The 7000 did have some Beige issues when it came out. You might try the latest ATi drivers and firmware updates. ATi recently released a universal firmware update utility that flashed my 7000 to a later firmware version. You need OSX (10.1.5 or later) to use the firmware updater.

I use the latest firmware and drivers.
The problem is that Mozilla always crashes when I visit the website: www.cami.be and many others. (only under OS9). And the thing I can do then is restart the computer using the key combination command-alt-start
