I have an ATI 9700Pro All in Winder card that I am not currently using. It is a PC model card. Does anyone know whether this card would work in a Sawtooth AGP computer? I have the G4 400 Mhz machine. I think it has an ATI Rage 128 in it now. I imagine it won't work but thought I would ask.

Thanks for your help!

No it won't.
The PC card and Mac cards are electronically the same, but the card's BIOS is different. There is the possibility though to flash a PC 9700 with a Mac BIOS, but it's not really easy, with the risk of damaging the card.

Just google for video card flashing...

I think that a 9700pro aiw could be flahsed to use in a Sawtooth, but then you won't be able to use the "aiw" part. Visit strangedog.com to get exact anaswer.
