Hi,

I recently bought a mac mini, which rocks! Why didn't I go G4 sooner!

So I am left with a beige G3 with an original PCI mac edition radeon card.
I intend to keep the beige running as a headless storage unit and put the graphics card in a compaq deskpro P3 800 i found outside my house with the rubbish. In the end all it needed was new ram to make it work!

Even though it is PCI, I think it will be faster than the onboard video.

There have been many posts on flashing pc graphics cards to make them work in macs...

Does anyone have any advice on how to go the other way?

Many thanks...

I have to doubt it. ATI's cards are not very amenable to flashing. Why not sell it to a Mac user on ebay?
