Beige G3 VRAM Upgrade

It should work as Compaq used similar ATI Rage products.

I once got a full PCI card just for the SGRAM to fill up my MT.

 
ATI 3D Rage Pro cards would have he 4MB SGRAM modules. I think the Matrox G200's also used the same RAM modules.

Quite a few PCI CAD cards used SGRAM modules (8MB I think), no idea if they work or not.

 
I probably have a spare module if that one on eBay doesn't work out.  I used to pull them off ATI video cards from junker PCs.

 
I have some also. I too have a big collection of the old ATI cards that used them.

With that said, the best way to get more VRAM in a minitower is a Radeon 9200 :)

 
Can confirm, is showing as 6mb of vram now. Seems to work okay. i.e. Gets to the desktop and the display isn't showing any artifacts.

 
The only thing I noticed is that in OS X (10.4.11), it reports it as 8mb... very strange but not an issue since it seems to work okay regardless.
