i have a g4 dp 800 and tiger. replacing my nvidia geforce 3 with an ati 9700 pro. do i need to remove any files related to the geforce 3 before proceeding? or do i just swap the cards and download new drivers from ati for the 9700?

thanks in advance for any help.

You just need to install the new card, and yes see if there's any new drivers to d/l and install.

There's no need to be concerned about drivers. They're already installed with the OS. What you do need to be concerned with is whether or not its an OEM 9700. If it is, it won't work in a Quicksilver.

its actually a pc 9700pro modded to run in a g4. it was tested in another g4 first...

will "see" monday if it works. at least i have the geforce if it doesn't.

it works! no problems, it lit right up.

i downloaded newer drivers from ati and installed them. big improvement over geforce card.

watch for my geforce 3 on ebay...special "buy now" price of $10,000 (or much less)
