I bought one of the flashed 8500's and it seems to work just fine on my 
G4-400 AGP with OSX 10.2.8.  I selected that particular card because 1) 
it is compatible with my 2x AGP slot, and 2) it has video out ports 
that match my particular combination of CRT's and panel's without 
having to invest in an adapter.
