Yeah, cards that could output two different display were still professional I think at the time (usually had two GPUs on them). I actually saw the dual display ixMicro card on eBay once. I remember the vram packaging was different than the usual Twin Turbos.

For those high resolutions it might be. I won't lie, though. As I've gotten older I sometimes 'lose' where the cursor is :(

Yeah, it was very noticeably faster with 2d than the Rage II in my Powerbase at the time. I do remember using the Hawkeye control panel too. Plus, like has been mentioned, they did have some weird font cache thingie that sped up text (or something like that). I remember the drivers/control...

Here's a picture of the box it came in, if you're interested. I had one at one time.

Just as an aside, I've always wanted to find a Radeon 9100 pic card and try flashing that. You can never find the things though.

I didn't even know there was a Mac-native way to flash them. I did mine back in the day, and the only way back then was the dos flasher way.

That 'Mac' Radeon was probably pulled from an Xserve.

Used M-series Macs to me just seem to have a lot less value than used older gen Macs of yesteryear. I used to look forward to getter the cheaper and more available Powermacs when they were several years old. Older but serviceable.

Electronic waste?!? Oh no! That's not electronic waste that's good stuff. We gotta start buying those ridiculously overpriced stuff on eBay to make sure that gold recovery is never an option!

It's be interesting, but you'd have more luck trying to get an adapter for AGP to PCIe. From what I'm seeing they were vaporware (I just did a quick search, though). That's if MacOS would even know what to do with a AGP to PCIe adapter or a newer-than-it-or-drivers PCIe video card that you...

Apple used some pins for their adc stuff that were originally unassigned on the AGP connector. They were used on 8x AGP which is why you have to tape em off.

I swear I was reading about someone doing something along this lines a little while ago in a G5 or something I can't seem to find the article or post, though. I don't think that's a PCI slot in the Cube, though. Just because it looks the same DOESN't mean it is. You're probably out of luck...

When in doubt, use Hypercard. It'll probably need an external for restarting though. I don't Hypercard could do that on its own.

Whooahhh! Got my little 475 slinging over ONE MILLION pixels!

While I wait for my vga adapter for my 475...

Does anyone know of a way to force a resolution (such as 1024x768) on my 475? I just have a dumb Mac-to-Vga adapter with no sense settings at the moment. Gonna get the adjustable one soon, though.
