[QUOTE="chscag, post: 912047, member: 46727"] The only solution I can offer you is to follow what the expanded hardware test has indicated. Since the video RAM is surface mounted to the ATI board, and if the RAM is defective you'll have to replace the entire board. Finding another ATI Radeon 9600 is easy, however, what is not easy is finding one that is for the Mac. You can not substitute a PC version unless you change the firmware. eBay has them for as low as $25.00 but they are PC only. Regards. [/QUOTE]
