ATA 9800 128 Meg Card Vs. OEM Apple ATI 64 Meg Graphics Card?

I'm upgrading a G4 Dual 500 to a Powerlogix Powerforce G4 Dual 1.3 CPU. I'm wondering if an ATI AGP 128 meg graphics card as a replacement to the Apple OEM/ATI 64 meg going to do much for me? Would this push the powersupply too much?
I also have the option of plunking in an ATI 9200 PCI card with 128 meg memory. As you can tell I'm going through my parts bin I'm using a Dell 24" LCD.
Any and all thoughts would be much appreciated!

I was wrong about the ATA 9800, oops it is an ATI 9200. I swapped it for the same card that has 128meg. memory instead of 64meg. X-bench reported little differences in speed.

OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering-

My Mac Pro's Radeon X1900 XT is retired to my computer grave yard, in my basement, but going back to the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, which shipped with my Mac Pro, brought some encouraging results.
When I first got the 2007 Mac Pro, in 2009, I was running it in Mac OS 10.4.4.11 Tiger and Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0) would disable Open GL rendering when it detected the stock nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card, which was on Adobe's list of unsupported graphics GPUs. So, I purchased a refurbished Apple Radeon X1900 XT. This card allowed Photoshop CS4 and Bridge CS4 to enable Open GL Rendering. Over the last year, the Radeon X1900 XT graphics card has been creating stripes on my screen when it is running hot and sometimes the dual displays would just shut off while I was working. Also, the computer was doing hardware freezes about once a day. This morning the Mac Pro shut down it's dual displays, while I was working, and I had to do another cold shut off in order to restart. I then manually shut the computer down and did a manual boot-up so that Snow Leopard would employ disk maintenance.
I shut the computer off and pulled the Radeon X1900 XT card and re-inserted the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT card. Now I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 Snow Leopard with Photoshop CS4 (11.0.2) instead of Photoshop CS4 (11.0.0).
Now, the updated Photoshop CS4, under the newer OS, is enabling Open GL rendering instead of disabling it. This graphics card's hardware limitation is now fixed, so I see no reason to buy the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit for my Mac Pro:
http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Apple/6615718/
Some who have purchased the Apple ATI Radeon HD 5770 say they still got the striping on their display when the Radeon HD 5770 card was running hot, just like with the Radeon X1900 XT.
So far, the OEM Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT is working fine and I'm not getting any striping on my displays with no display shut-offs or hardware freezes.
I'm glad to have Adobe's Open GL rendering enabled with an OEM graphics GPU that runs cool and requires no imbedded cooling fan. Apples OEM nVidia GeForce 7300 GT, for the Mac Pro, is on Adobe's list of unsupported GPUs for Open GL rendering under Photoshop CS4, so why is it supported now? Is that just one of the benefits of the Photoshop CS4 11.0.2 update?

Chirs, thanks for your info but you are talking about Photoshop CS5, which does not support OpenGL drawing on the Mac nVidia 7300 or the Mac Radeon X1900. As long as I am using Photoshop CS4 and have not yet upgraded to CS5, I can continue to use the Mac nVidia 7300 and get limited OpenGL drawing support from Photoshop. And it is working fine.
Today I found out that Adobe has updated their OpenGL support information and apparemntly when I upgraded my Mac from Tiger to Leopard, and later, I gained Photoshop's Open GL support for the Apple nVidia GeForce 7300 GT:
Supported video cards (Mac OS)
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.4.11 and 10.5.4
17-inch iMac x1600, 128 MB
ATI HD 2600, 256 MB
MacBook Air intel GMA X3100
Nvidia Quadrofx 4500, 512 MB
Radeon x1900, 512 MB
Intel-based Macintosh, tested on Mac OS X 10.5.4 only
8800 GT, 512 MB
iMac 8800 GS, 512 MB
Nvidia 8600M, 256 MB
The following Power PC cards work in Photoshop CS4: Nvidia 7800 (256 MB), Nvidia GeForce 7800 GT, and the Nvidia Quadro FX 4500.
Note: OpenGL is enabled for the GeForce 7300GT, but Advanced Drawing and 3D Acceleration are disabled.
So, when I upgrade to Photoshop CS5, I will need to replace my video card with something compatible with Photoshop CS5s OpenGL drawing engine. Do you think the ATI Radeon HD 5770 Graphics Upgrade Kit, for my Mac Pro, will get Photoshop CS5 to make OpenGL drawing availible and active?
I appriciate an Adobe employee, like yourself, providing the information I need to make the right hardware choices when upgrading to Adobe CS5.

I just replaced my old graphics card NVIDIA GeForce2 MX/MX 400 with another old model card, ATI Radeon 9800 XT. Everything was fine until I tried to update a recent ATI driver after uninstalling my old Nvidia driver with DriverCleaner Pro. I get this error message:
"Setup failed to launch installation engine: Class not registered"
Then, tried to install the driver through device manager with the update driver option. I directed to the driver folder on my desktop and the driver update went through, smoothly. However, when I put my computer in standby mode and then restore to full operation
I got a BSOD with this error msg.:
ati2dvag.dll-Address BF039614 base at BF012000, DateStamp 49344e53
Now I can't use standby mode because the computer just shuts down instead of operating in standby.
Is there any idea why my new card is not being fully accepted in my OS and how can I fix this issue. BTW, my ATI card is an 8x speed and my AGP slot supports a max of 4x speed, but I think my card is reverse compatible with 4x slot with the same voltage (1.5V).

Thank you BOSS for your quick response:
I took your advice and reinstalled my OS, but unfortunately stand-by mode is still causing errors. The only difference is that I managed to install the ATI driver normally and no BSOD, so far.
I'm not sure what is causing this, but my humble guess would be that my ATI card is an OEM card which is pulled form a working dell computer and these cards sometimes do not integrate well when installed on non dell motherboards... However, I need to find out that that is absolutely the case before I remove my vid. card from my system
There is a memory dump file that contains the info about this error but I can't decipher...I'm not a computer savvy, but you or someone here my find the root of the problem in that file. If that will be of any help to provide you with I will, next time.
Thanks in advance!!!

Can I replace an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION with Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5

Hi,
I am trying to help a friend whose graphics card has bust.
The old one was an ATI RADEON 9800 PRO-(256MB)-MAC EDITION.
I've been looking on ebay and it seems a lot cheaper to get a Mac ATI Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb Video Card For G4/G5.
Can I just swap them over? The connectors are not identical according to the photographs.
Thanks.

I'd like to thank everyone for all the really useful information in this thread. It helped me solve a similar problem, which I'll describe here briefly in case it helps someone else.
I have a 2004/5 dual 2 Ghz PowerPC G5 and an Apple Cinema HD display linked, as I later found out, with the now defunct ADC connector. The display suddenly started to look like that scene in The Matrix, when code falls like rain down the screen, and I worked out I needed to replace my Radeon 9800 pro video card (I discovered the board was blue when I removed a thick layer of dust).
I took japamac's excellent advice and bought a Geforce 6800 Ultra from the linked eBay seller in Hong Kong, who delivered it extremely quickly, along with the cables to plug it into the DVD drive power source and a CD with installation instructions. It was only then that I realised the card had two DVI connectors and my display needed ADC (I hadn't understood the difference).
eBay came to the rescue again with a seller who had a secondhand DVI to ADC adapter, which Apple produced when it phased out ADC about six years ago but no longer sells. It has its own power supply and looks like a large version of the Mac laptop power cables - and has added signifcantly to the pile of spaghetti under my desk.
Installing the Geforce 6800 Ultra is fiddly, and a bit scary if you're not used to delving into the insides of a Mac, but the instructions were clear and illustrated with useful photos. The video cable has four connectors. Two fit into the end of the card, the other two (linked in a Y shape) form a bridge between the DVD/superdrive and its power cable. You have to remove the DVD drive, unplug it, and then plug one of the two Y video card connectors into the DVD power cable and the other into the DVD drive itself. Then you replace the DVD drive, plug the two remaining cable connectors to the video card and ease it into the old card's AGP slot.
Finally, with the G5 reassembled, plug the adapter's DVI connection into the back of the card, plug the Cinema Display ADC cable into the adapter block, plug the adapter's USB cable into the G5 (this enables the the USB ports on the back of the display to work), and power up.
At the time of writing, the display has been up and running for a couple of hours and all seems fine.
Thanks again everyone for all your help and advice. If it wasn't for communities like this, it would be virtually impossible to solve problems with old but still serviceable Macs.

Best Browser and OS for G3 Indigo Clamshell w/128 Megs Ram

Hey Everyone,
I am buying an Indigo G3 w/128 megs of ram that's running OS 9.2 and already has some version of MS Office on there. It's never been used on the net at all! All I want to do is e-mail, web surf, and maybe run iTunes. I am also scavenging an airport card from my dead G3 white laptop( Pismo?) and putting that in later, as my girlfriend has a wireless router. Basically, its just a cheap solution as I am working with her at her business and need something inexpensive to work on...that is MAC!
So, my questions are:
1) If I just plug it into an ethernet cable, will it update the firmware?
2) Can I still efficiently use 9.2 with my above described needs( minus iTunes...I know that needs OSX)?
3) What browser could I use and how do I get it if this thing has never been on the net before?
Thanks everyone!

Probably the best browser for OS 9.x is Mozilla. Although Mozilla will have a problem on some web sites that are designed for newer browsers. Download Wamcom's Mozilla browser at: http://wamcom.org/latest-131/ With only 128MB RAM, you need to have a lot of Virtual Memory.
You only need to update the firmware if you are going to install/run OS X.
Although I have Panther installed on my G4, I run in OS 9.2.2 more than Panther.
 Cheers, Tom

I have the G4Ti4200-TD 128 meg card, and my problem is when I attempt to run 800x600 resolution. I'm not sure how to describe what happens but it looks like all the rows of pixels rapidly shift back and forth... making images looks like this..
instead of this...
My monitor is a Sony Trinitron Multiscan 200ES 17"

OEM Appl. Server Control: BI Forms Instance not accessible - Apache Crashes

Dear Colleague,
We have OAS Release 1 installed. We operate an Oracle Forms/Reports application. That means, we have the standard Infrastructure Appl. Server instance and the BI Forms instance runing on OAS.
I recently installed a new DB instance called RKMSTEST on the DB server (the production DB is called RKMS). Since the installation and configuration of the new test DB. Consequently, I also create corresponding RADs (Resource Application Descriptors) in OID and updated the TNSNAMES.ORA file to include the new test database RKMSTEST.
The problems are
a) that the Apache.exe program (ntdll.dll) crashes regularly
b) the OEM Appl. Server Control web program for the BI Forms instance is no longer accessible (OEM Appl. Server Control web program for the Infrastructure Instance is accessible).
Do you have any ideas or tips how I can debug these problems?
Best regards,
Charles

How do you try to access console? what url do you use?
From what components you want to check the ports asigned? Only Oc4j's, webcache, http_server and oid should show something here.
Did you check the file $OH/install/portlist.ini and opmn.xml, rmi.xml?

P7N Diamond and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 Video Cards

Hello all, I have a simple question. I’ve searched Google and this is one of the few places I’ve found people even discussing the subject of a MSI P7N Diamond motherboard and TWO nVidia 9800 GX2 video cards running SLi.
Here is my system. MSI P7N Diamond, 6 GB OCZ Reaper Memory, Pentium E8500 processor, Asus Silent Knight cooler, two eVGA 8800 GT Superclocked Edition video cards running SLi, Tagan BZ Series 800 W power supply, four 500 GB Seagate Barracuda hard drives running RAID 0 (2 for the C drive & 2 for the D drive), Sound Blaster PCIe sound (came with MB), LG Blu-ray, DVD, CD burner & HD-DVD Reader, second LG DVD/CD burner, GL W2452T monitor and Windows Ultimate Edition 64-bit.
My question is, can I replace the two 8800 GT SC video cards with TWO 9800 GX2 video cards? I know the P7N Diamond can handle Tri-SLi, but can it handle two cards with 2 GPU’s each. I am also considering changing up my two 1 GB Reaper chips with 2 GB chips so I will have 8 GB of RAM. This should make up for the 2 GB of memory the 9800 GX2’s are using up (if, in fact the motherboard can handle the cards).
I was also wondering, if the motherboard CAN handle dual 9800 GX2’s, can my power supply handle it at 800 watts?
And for my bonus question, would I be better off considering going with two 9800 GTX+ cards rather than the GX2's? Would I honestly se a huge improvement running two GX2's as opposed to two GTX+ cards? After all, the 9800 GTX+ cards would be much cheaper!
Thanks in advance for any help!!!
GH

Thanks for all the help BossKiller!!! You’ve been a HUGE help!
RemusM, I have two answers for you…
From the sensible side that should be thinking this through, no. You are absolutely 100% correct, I probably don’t need to run two 9800 GX2 cards. I can play the games I’m currently playing quite well on two 8800 GT OC cards. I should save my money.
And, from the geek side I say heck yes! This will ensure I can run pretty much everything out there and anything made in the near and not so distant future with all settings maxed out!
That said, I wish I would listen to RemusM and my sensible side… but alas it’s a losing battle. Plus, I may be getting the two 9800 GX2’s for $300 ($150 each) . So it’s not that bad. If I have to pay full price for them, the geek side may lose out anyhow.
GH
Oh and by the way RemusM, I LOVE the sig block!! That’s an old Timex isn’t it? It’s not the Sinclair 1000 is it?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27" display and a 42" LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best card?

I have an early 2008 Mac Pro, 8 gb ram with a Dell 27” display and a 42” LG TV. I am thinking about upgrading the stock ATI Radeon 2600 graphics card for better resolution, preferring 2 dvi outputs or 1 dvi and 1 vga vs 1 dvi and a mini. I don't do a lot of Final Cut Pro, gaming, etc. I am interested in best value for the graphics card.
Does anyone have any suggestions on the best graphics card for these larger displays for the best value?
Thanks,

I recommend you install nothing older than the Apple-firware 5770, about US$250.
RE: Mac Pro Replacement Graphics cards
1) Apple brand cards,
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards, and
3) "Mac Edition" cards ...
... show all the screens, including Boot up screens, Safe Mode, Installer, Recovery, debug screens, and Alt/Option boot screens. At this writing, these choices include:
1) Apple brand cards:
• Apple-firmware 5770, about US$250** works near full speed in every model Mac Pro, Drivers in 10.6.5
• Apple-firmware 5870, about US$450
2) "sold in the Apple store" cards
• NVIDIA Quadro 4000, about US$1200
• NVIDIA Quadro 5000, about US$2500
3) "Mac Edition" cards -- REQUIRE 10.8.3 or later:
• SAPPHIRE HD 7950 3GB GDDR5 MAC Edition, about US$480** Vendor recommends Mac Pro 4,1
• EVGA GTX 680 Mac Edition, about US$600
The cards above require no more than the provided two 6-pin aux power connectors provided in the Mac Pro through 2012 model. Aux cables may not be provided for third-party cards, but are readily available.
If you are Meet ALL of these:
• running 10.8.3 or later AND
• don't care about "no boot screens" etc AND
• can re-wire or otherwise "work out" the power cabling, THEN:
You can use many more cards, even most "PC-only cards"

The fastest way (which will take a while) is to:
1) Make sure you have an up to date backup with time machine.
2) Boot from your Leopard install disc or disc that came with your computer.
3) When choosing an install method you can choose an archive and install or erase and install.
4) After the OS is installed it will ask you if you want to restore files from another drive, partition, mac or time machine.
5) Choose time machine and get your files restored.
6) Once the mac is started up.
7) Go here http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/macosx1054comboupdate.html and download the 10.5.4 combo update.
8)You then need to use software update to install all of the updates that came after 10.5. UNCHECK the 10.5.5 Combo Update. You can even select to ignore that update by checking the box next to so that it is selected and then selecting ignore update from the update menu in the menu bar.
I have not tried using Time Machine to go back an OS version. I will experiment with that.
I can also tell you how to clone your drive to another drive using the same DVD as above and two hard drives.
I hope this helps.

Is my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard?...

Hello guys, I was just needing to know if my ATI Radeon 3100 Graphics card wielded to the MotherBoard, the reason I'm asking is BC I'm needing to upgrade my Video Card to NVidia so that I can get 60 FPS in my Games, right now I'm getting half that which is 30 FPS and sometimes it drops to 4 FPS. LOL can you believe that?, 4 FPS LMAO come on man, somethings gotta be better than ATI Radeon 3100....Hope to hear from you...

I'm just not sure what is going on - that error is what Mac Mini's and others with onboard video have when they try to run FCE/FCP, and there is a workaround mentioned here:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1609878
Of course, your MBP has the ATI card, not onboard video.
I did a clean install of FCE 3 HD ( PPC ) and then upgraded immediately to FCE 3.5 HD ( Universal ) and have experienced no problems with it.

Do the Imac support Corel graphics software? Or does Apple make its own graphics software?

Does the Apple Imac support Corel Draw for graphics design? Or does Apple provide its own graphics software package when making an Imac purchase?

There are thousands of graphics apps available for OS X. A very quick look on Corel's web site showed Corel Draw is not available for OS X, probably another reason Corel is in sad financial shape. Apple does not include any graphics creation software when you buy an iMac what is included is OS X and the iLife suite of products.
If you are interested in a substitute for Corel Draw then I'd recommend using Google to search for OS X alternatives, I'm sure you will not have a problem finding many suitable alternatives.
