The topic pretty much indicates the situation I'm in. I have a slightly creaky graphite that I'm trying to get some extra games performance out of.
The Radeon Sapphire 7000 I purchased didn't do the job for whatever reason, so I also managed to locate a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI ...
but....
The Voodoo is a PC card, I have seen reports of successfully reflashing for Mac usage, but finding the software and ROM images to do so is proving somewhat difficult.
In effect this is a twofold question -
1) Can I render the Radeon 7000 into something reasonably fast, if so how. At this moment it barely performs better than the Rage 128 that was in the machine.
2) How do you perform a successful conversion of the PC Voodoo 5 into a functional shiny Mac variant ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
