My 2nd Hard Disk gave out a while ago, only temporarily, before my computer somehow miraculously fixed itself, but ever since then, my graphics card hasn't been detected ..
Has my graphics card just stopped working and my mac started using a built-in one, or is my mac just not detecting it?
I wanna play AoE3 again :(

Did you try resetting the P-RAM because this happened to me before on my Power Mac G4 MDD 1.25 GHz. My HD would not be recognized so then I clicked on option. It still didn't show it. So put the disc in to restore it and booted from there. And opened disk utility and it didn't show. So i opened the machine and unpluggedd and plugged it back in. Then i reset the P-ram then held down option so i can boot from the HD and it worked.
Hope this helps!
