answer to your question about identifying an authentic Mac radeon 8500
card?</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=617530021-28122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>I purchased an 8500
from an eBay reseller and have also been experiencing deadlocks. The deadlocks
appeared at different times with different OS updates. in 10.3.5 I had them
while playing a game, but then 10.3.6 fixed those issues.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=617530021-28122004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Now I am seeing
those deadlocks again in 10.3.7, but not in the game, only in the process of
waking from deep sleep. Grrr. </FONT></SPAN><SPAN class=617530021-28122004><FONT
face=Arial size=2>The seller claims the card was taken directly from an older
Mac, but I don't believe him.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
