Can't install Rage 128 Pro in my Powermac G5

I have a 2.3 Ghz DP (not dual core) Powermac G5 with AGP Pro slot.
I have very minimal video needs, and would love to replace the X800XT card currently installed with something with very low AC requirements so that I can reduce the heat (and resultant need for fans) in the G5. I'm using the G5 for audio only and the fan noise is killer.
I thought I'd just swap in a Rage 128 Pro (as used in my G4 Cube), but no dice.
What is the least powerful graphics card I can install?
thanks in advance

what about something like this? cheaper, and looks like it generates less heat, given the much smaller heat sink.

Would a rage pro 128 card with the 'registration tab' work in AGP Pro slots?
for example,

Perhaps these won't work because they are not Mac specific?
Thanks for all the help guys

  • ATI, Rage 128 pro display card won't work on 23"hd cinema display Help....

    My rage 128 pro won't work on this 23" display, it simply went black, i would like to know if I can purchase a vga to dvi adapter to solve this problem without buying a new video card? thanks

    Are you in the US?

    These 6-pin cords are readily available for not much money, but the searches are toturous, often involving references to the G5. Like this one from Amazon (US):

  • Supported flat panel displays for an ATI Rage 128 Pro/G4 500

    I originally was using an Apple 21" CRT display with my G4/500 until the display's picture tube failed. I am now looking to purchase a flat panel w/DVI, using my G4's DVI video port and the Rage 128 Pro card. I have found conflicting information on resolutions supported by the ATI card. I am looking at a Dell UltraSharp 2005FPW 20.1-inch Wide Aspect Flat Panel LCD, and the requirements indicate that my system must be able to support WSXGA+ resolution (1680 x 1050). A 24" version of the Dell monitor requires the support of WUXGA resolution (1920x1200). WIll either of these flat panel monitors work with my G4? If not, what specs do I need to look at to determine compatibility? Thanks.

    Hi JBernstein,
    Karl,
    I greatly appreciate your efforts to resolve my
    question.
    No worries, Mate!
    To address a question you posed earlier, no, my G4
    did not come with a ADC port. I have both VGA and
    DVI-D ports on my G4/500 (Graphite) with the Rage 128
    Pro ADP card, which is 16 mb and 2x.
    From that, I would infer that you computer is not ADC enabled.
    It was the Genius at
    the Apple Store who mentioned the Radeon 9000 card as
    a replacement. but he also suggested that the current
    20" Apple display would work with my G4 ... we tried
    that today, and the OS would not launch and power the
    display. SO, we must replace the card, or live with
    small displays.
    Yes, the ATY 128 Pro generally does not have enough grunt to power the larger displays.
    I did find a number of Radeon 9600 Pro Mac Edition
    video cards on eBay, but most had a published spec of
    4X, and the response to whether it was backwards
    compatible with the 2x capability in my G4/500 is
    that it will not work. Is that true?
    All the information I have (via the ATI website) does not specifically state that the 9600 card will support AGP 2X. Other ATI cards that do support 2X have this specifically stated in the information. Therefore, there is no garauntee that the 9600 card will support 2X. Until I receive information that someone has used this card in an AGP 2X computer with success, I cannot advise trying to use it.
    I have not
    confirmed the Radeon 8500 as yet, but as you might
    imagine, it is frustrating to get conflicting
    responses.
    The ATI Radeon 8500 will work in your computer (as, partially, will the 9000 - refer to my earlier posting).
    Perhaps you might address a different question ... is
    there any place within Apple that I can go, even with
    paying a fee for services, that would definitively
    provide an absolute solution to an upgrade type
    question, complete with exact part number AND
    guarantee that the information is quite accurate? Why
    wouldn't Apple provide some type of infomration on
    replacement/upgrade path for older products (geez ---
    the G4/500 Graphite isn't even on the legacy products
    list yet) so that the customer can invest and upgrade
    without going through a challenging process to get
    the right information? The information I've turned up
    is vague and not geared towards solutions like this.
    Apple, for all sorts of reasons (legal and commercial), is loath to provide "official" advice on the use of any third party upgrade hardware on their products. Moreover, discussions on the morality of this is probably against the terms and conditions of this discussion forum.
    I'm all ears as to how to move forward with this G4
    with a replacement card, if that is possible.
    The way I see it, you need either an ATI 8500/9000 if your only desired upgrade is the capacity to run larger displays, or an ATI 9800 is you wish to do gaming, graphics and be able to make full use of all the new Tiger graphics facilities.
    Cheers!

  • ATi Rage 128 PRO with DVI adaptor

    I got a PowerMac G4 with Ati Rage 128 Pro which has a VGA and a DVI port on it
    I would like to know if the DVI port going to work with the Apple DVI to Video adaptor?
    I know the postage of the adaptor said it is only for PowerMac G5 and Mac mini but is there any differences between the DVI port on the ATi Rage 128 PRO and those on G5 and Mac Mini?
    Is there any other solution that I can output the display to a TV with s-video or RGB?
    Thank you so much!!
    Cheers,

    It's not the port, but the card that matters. The conversion to video is done by the card. The adapter just sends the output to the correct pins. I think the only cards that work are the recent ATI cards. Yours is probably too old. ATI's web-site doesn't have any information on it.
    Is there any other solution that I can output the
    display to a TV with s-video or RGB?
    You can get a newer graphics card or use a VGA to Video converter.

    There are other, cheaper, ones.

  • Hmmm.... Original 16 Meg ATI AGP Rage 128 Pro or 32 Meg ATI PCI Mac 7000 ?

    I have both of these cards installed in my 466 (soon to be 733) MHz DA tower.
    Which one should I be using for best all-around performance ???
    M

    Jeff sez:
    The Radeon GPU is better/faster than the older Rage 128 Pro. In addition to having more memory, the Radeon cards have DDR SDRAM, as opposed to the SDRAM found on the Rage card. The performance difference between the two cards is noticeable, so I'd go with the Radeon.
    I sez:
    To check out the difference between PCI vs AGP video performance I used a 22 inch LaCie set at millions of colours on my AGP Graphics Digital Audio G4 tower, I installed two contemporary video cards in it and then ran only the video component of XBench on the computer twice, once with the monitor connected to each card and nothing connected to the other. The results were more or less what I expected, but they were interesting. The two cards I used for the test were both ATI cards. One of them was the 16-meg Rage128 Pro AGP card that came stock in my 466 MHz DA G4 tower and the other was a theoretically much better 32-meg DDR ATI Radeon PCI 7000 Mac Edition. The only other installed PCI card (besides the Radeon 7000) is a VIA Vectro VT6212L USB 2.0 card.
    When the video testing was all finished the AGP card, with 16 Megs of VRAM, scored considerably higher than the 32-meg PCI card in every category of the test. The overall XBench score for the computer, with no other changes, was 32.08 with the PCI video card and 38.04 with the Rage 128 Pro AGP graphics card installed. Frames per second for spinning squares results were 55.58 with the PCI card, 65.77 with AGP. What was most notable was the Text results: only 2.13 thousand characters per second with the 32-meg DDR Radeon 7000 Mac Edition versus a whopping 5.12 thousand characters per second with the 16-meg AGP card.
    I suspected the AGP was better than PCI but I did not expect a 16-meg AGP card to overwhelm a PCI card with 32MB of double data rate memory. Live & learn.

  • Which graphics cards will work in a G4 that came with a Rage 128 Pro AGP?

    My ATI 9800 Pro Mac just died and, though it is under warranty, it is taking ATI a while to replace it. They don't sell them any more, so they told me they refurbish them. I need a card that works so I can use my computger NOW, while I'm waiting. I have a heavily upgrade G4 that supports my software so I don't want to upgrade with a new system. Any ideas for a quick fix would be greatly appreciated. I'm losing faith in ATI.
    Thanks,
    zrants.

    Better still, if you are just looking for a card to fill the AGP slot until your high performance card comes back from the shop you could EITHER
    a/ pick up another 16-meg AGP Rage128 Pro if you can't find your old one. That Rage 128 Pro card was actually a VERY decent card for its time and is compatible with the new versions of the Mac OS.
    b/ put in any cheap 8 or 16-meg OSX-compliant PCI card (unless all of your PCI slots are filled).
    If its simply a matter of asking you could probably borrow something for a few days. Everyone who has played with PCI Macs has at least one old ATI PCI video card kicking around in a box in the basement or sitting on a shelf.

  • Rage 128 Pro and HP Monitor= 'Input Not Supported'. Need help.

    I recently purchased this monitor for my Mac G4 (Digital audio model with Rage 128 Pro);
    http://www.macmall.com/macmall/shop/detail.asp?dpno=7246171&Redir=1&description= HP-Smart%20Buy%20w19%2019-inch%20LCD%20Widescreen%20Flat%20Panel%20Monitor-Monit ors
    When I power up the Mac I can see the apple logo as OSX starts to boot but soon thereafter I get a black screen with a little floating window that says, 'Input Not Supported'.
    What does this mean in technical terms and do I need to return the monitor?
    Thanks.

    Hi-
    The monitor is telling you that the input being received is not supported. This is because the rage 128 is too weak a graphics card to drive the HP Monitor ( or any LCD over 17" for that matter).
    You will need a better graphics card to run the display.
    As for which graphics card, basically, most any 4x AGP Mac compatible card +other than+ the Rage 128 (or Pro) will work to drive the monitor.

    Hi, anyone know. can i install samsung 850 pro 1 tb solid state drive in my "macbook pro 2012 mid". any compatibility issues?

    "In addition to TRIM, I just stumbled on this discussion. One of the posters is having some odd difficulties with that combination."
    Yup and that's why I've avoided any 3rd party SSDs.
    I only deal with:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    I've done 6 so far and no problems at all; formatting, installing nothing. Total no brainer. I did have a small formatting problem on my last one but I called them and solved the problem before the guy got on the phone. He immediately offered a return sticker (RMA) but I didn't need it and the MBP is running fine.

  • PCI ATI Rage 128 Pro

    I just bought an ATI Rage 128 Pro 32MB PCI video card for my early quicksilver G4 (733 MHz, 1GB RAM). The idea was to add a second monitor to my 15" Apple Studio Display connected to the AGP card (ATI Rage 128 Pro with ADC and VGA). Doesn't work though:
    Card does not show up in System Profiler.app in either PCI or Graphics/Displays
    Display does not show up in System Preferences.app - Displays tab
    Quick search on Apple.com, ATI, OWC, and Google reveals no driver information for this card.
    Thanks in advance,
    -- Aubrey Granner

    The reason I bought this card was how I plan to use it and what I already have.
    Right now, I have an older Apple Studio Display that I like and don't want to replace. It requires a Apple Display Connector, so that means I have to keep the current AGP card:
    from System Profiler
    ATY,Rage128Pro:
    Chipset Model: ATY,Rage128Pro
    Type: Display
    Bus: AGP
    Slot: SLOT-1
    VRAM (Total): 16 MB
    Vendor: ATI
    Apple Studio Display:
    Display Type: LCD
    Resolution: 1024 x 768
    Depth: 32-bit Color
    Built-In: Yes
    Core Image: Not Supported
    Main Display: Yes
    Mirror: Off
    Online: Yes
    Quartz Extreme: Not Supported
    I just bought a new LCD TV and it's near the mac so I thought I'd get a VGA cable and watch videos on the new screen. I don't need the "horsepower" because I'm not doing intense graphic processing, just flat, high-resolution video (I like to watch European TV shows).
    Because of these reasons I bought the cheapest PCI card I could: $20
    If there's another card that will work for what I want to do without breaking the bank, please let me know.
    Thanks,

  • Can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP3

    Newbie hozer can't install Acrobat 9 Pro on Windows XP Home Ed V2002 SP4.  At end of install via CD it hangs restarting Print Spooler (spooler) and Windows Image Acquisition (stisvc) services, err 1920, and all I can do is click Cancel and it uninstalls the whole dad gum thing.  I tried kb.adobe.com/cps/403/kb403613.html.  Not fixing it.
    If I could change the permissions on those services maybe that would help but I can't do it, I don't have a login with enough permissions, I guess...
    So after the third time I just hard-crashed the hard drive when it got to the last ("can't start Windows Image Acquisition", cancel/retry) window and I did end up with the files on the HDD but... they won't install or delete now.  I'm infested.  Try to install in Normal or Vega mode, it now pops up a filled in userid/serial number box, and when you click ok or retype it, it says the s/n is invalid.  I keep having to reboot to get Windows Installer to let me start it (another permissions problem).  So I'm stuck. UpToDateTrendMicro doesn't find any evil doers...  the kb403613 sent me to this forum,
    with hopes,
    M3/   [that's MEL, or as close as the ScreenNameBouncer would let me get]

    Not sure it will help, but try it when logged in as the administrator and with anti-virus turned off. As far as error numbers, must of us have no clue (there seems to be a list at Adobe, but we don't work there.

    Also any other specific features to consider while purchasing this OS.

    I will repeat what I already said given that you told us that you are running Lion on a newer MacBook Pro.
    You should visit the Boot Camp forum https://discussions.apple.com/community/windows_software/boot_camp
    And you should read the Boot Camp Help documents http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/
    XP, regardless of version, is not going to work on a newer computer nor will it work if you are running Lion OS.
