[QUOTE="art4tees, post: 544874, member: 43020"] No, it said on the box front that it was a PC & Mac card. I finally found a website that explained the problem. It seems that this Radeon 9600 Pro only works in the 2002 Quicksilver with the "Mirrored" doors. I have the 2001 "Yikes" model. THe Mac techs at the store don't know these little things, but I found a chart that lists all the Power Macs and which cards will work in them and this card does not go in my machine. I took it back this afternoon foor a credit... This card is not an ADC card. It is a PCI card so there was no "power" rab receiving the power necessary to operate the monitor... small it4em that those nimrods didn't know. I even showed them that this was a PCI card and showed them the card out of mu machine which was aq ADC card and they said it didn't matter. With that logic and knowledge, I'm sure NASA will let me help assemble the next shuttle.... I will order a compatible card off the net as I should have done in the first place. I appreciate your help in this... Thanks! [/QUOTE]
