There have been reports of limited success with various ATI video cards. Start with this article and follow links:<BR>

Seems like a lot of trouble and could be a crap-shoot.<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><BLOCKQUOTE><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>A friend of mine bought a G4 Cube on eBay and it works fine but he wants to put a better video card in it. It's got a 16MB ATI currently. He's got a 128 MB ATI that's for a PC which won't work the way it is now. He's read you can flash the BIOS of the card to make it Mac. Does anybody know anything about this or does anybody know of a list/site with people who've done mods like this? <BR>

Thanx<BR>
