My Upgraded Power Mac G4 Digital Audio

A Tour and Demonstration of a Power Mac G4 Digital Audio, featuring a SONNET Encore 1.4GHz G4 CPU, 1.5GB of PC133 SDRAM and a Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition together with a Rage 128 PCI Graphics Card (Two Graphics Cards) in order to run OS 9.2.2 and OS X. (Both with acceleration!)

Because the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition isn't being adequately utilised by this CPU I do plan to swap this card out with an Nvidia 4600ti Mac Edition in the future and place the 9800 Pro into my QuickSilver.

In this case I'll try fitting a 9200 LE (I'll have to purchase another one) in the place of the RAGE 128 to handle the OS 9 side of things, as the 9200 LE in my G3 runs OS 9 with acceleration, but when fitting the card into this machine together with the 9800 Pro, all I got when the desktop came up was a grey screen with a movable curser. (All of the extensions did seem to load properly though, including the ATI extension) So there may be a conflict between these two cards as they are similar in a way. The Nvidia 4600ti and the 9200 LE on the other hand are not, so I may be able to get it to work!
