[QUOTE="br35, post: 788037, member: 82005"] I recently got a an ATI Radeon 9800 XT (Powercolor model XR98T-D3) PC Retail version to install on my G5 (Dual 1.8Mhz June 2004 model). I flashed the card with the 9800 MAC PRO 256 MB 134 ROM (full 128k rom) since i read that flashing it with the XT Rom would make the DVI port unusable. To flash i asked someone with Apple Remote Desktop to do it from another computer. After rebooting i sadly realized that my screen is so corrupted that i can't use it. I have tried several times ro re-flash the card but since i can't see anything that i'm doing it's very hard. I believe i flashed the card with the right rom (128K). The number on the card's ROM CHIP is 25P05AV STI 9318C. Although i have read that this number refers to a 64K chip, when i first dumped the ROM it gave me a 128K PC file. I have now quit trying to get this card to work on my mac. [/QUOTE]
