[G4] Geforce 6200 agp PowerMac g4 (MDD)

[Alan Kidner]

I am using a flashed GeForce 7800GS in my MDD G4.  Got most of the 
information I needed from The Mac Elite 
(http://themacelite.wikidot.com/nvidia-geforce).  Flashing the card was 
a bit of a game and I am unable to flash it back to its original state.  
Fortunately it works, although the monitor flashes plain black and then 
blue for about a minute during boot up!

The XFX 6200 card on the Mac Elite website looks totally different to 
yours so I would be surprised if the ROM for that card worked on yours.  
You could try it but in my experience it would be risky and you might 
end up with an unusable graphics card.

With regard to the memory.  I don't think it would do any harm to try 
the PC3200 memory but I have found Macs to be more fussy than PCs in 
this respect and I think it is unlikely to work and especially so as you 
plan to
mix it with PC2700.

I hope this helps.
