Asus V7100 Pro SE no luck on a G4 350
I tried an ASUS V7100 Pro SE in my G4350 and flashed the rom as per instructions in the original post. The Flashing worked perfectly however I was not 100% happy with the result, I did get a good clear screen with lots of extra resolutions but I had video artefacts appearing that would cluster around the edges of text etc. and make the text almost unreadable, I could make them disappear for a while by windowshading the window and and reopening it (OS9) but the artefacts would always come back. OSX (10.1.5) had similar problems.(Imagine a TFT screen with LOTS of dead pixels, that's what it looked like)

I think this is likely a heating issue. The graphics chip may not have sufficient cooling to run at the speed that the Mac ROM sets it to. I see this to some extent with the VisionTek GeForce2 MX400 5564 AGP card I am using- when I run for a long time with many apps, I begin seeing the artifacts and I think have also caused a computer crash. There is a small heatsink on the graphics chip on my card. I am going to try a fan next to the card to see if that stops the problem.

I too tried an Asus V7100 Pro in my G4 466 and experienced the screen artifacts which renders the card unusable. Now I am stuck with a card I can't use in an Apple or PC (now that it has been flashed for an Apple).

Will the SE version work on any mac at all ? I've found some really cheap ones... |
