Recently, I've had a number of people aske me about video cards for the Macintosh G4 Cube, and to see how they work. I just finished putting in a Radeon 7500 ripped out of a tower. The Cube runs it with success, but the problem is that OS 9 cannot find a suitable driver for some reason, so games don't run in OS 9.

The faceplate from my previous Rage 128 does not fit over the Radeon 7500, but if all of you don't mind, no faceplate is needed, just remove the one that came with the card itself.

Yes, and other people just modify that faceplate (dremel tool) to fit the 7500.

Head over to <a href="http://www.xlr8yourmac.com" target="_blank">www.xlr8yourmac.com</a> and search the graphics card forums. ATi recently released new driver updates for retail Mac cards that also work on OEMs.....joe
