ADC GPU for 2002 Quicksilver Dual 1Ghz

[Minmus]

Hi all,

After getting my iMac G3 set up recently, I lucked into a Power Mac G4 dual 1Ghz tower, and I think that it might become my daily driver for OS9-early OS X applications and games. Currently it has a Radeon 9600 Pro Mac edition with dual DVI ports, but I was looking at trying to find a nice ADC connector GPU that would still get 3D acceleration on OS9 and still perform decent on the later operating systems. Based on what I could find, it seems like the Radeon 9000 or 9000 Pro would be my best option that is affordable. My question is, I've seen ebay listings for both the normal and Pro versions both at 64mb, but I'm not sure if sellers are just using the titles interchangibly. Is there a good way to tell them appart with a serial number or something?

No idea as that was never a card I had in my own QS. I had an NVIDIA card, a flashed Radeon 7000 and a Radeon 9200. Those cards weren't ADC though. There was a dual ADC/VGA card that was offered though when the QS was for sale, the NVDIA GE Force 2 I believe - if that gives you any direction. I would imagine it was OS9 compatible.

PS. Those three cards I mentioned that I had for my QS? I had all three - installed at once. Yes, my QS was driving six monitors.

There is no Radeon 9000 ‘non-Pro’ with ADC AFAIK. Here’s a list of ADC GPUs and stuff I compiled:

Just thought I'd make a list of ADC monitors, as well as adapters and other peripherals. Just for the heck of it really. :) Monitors Manufacturer Model Size Panel (Type) or Tube (Type) Resolution PPI Intro or Release Apple Studio Display [1] 15" LG.Philips (TN) 1024×768 85.33 2000.07.19...

Wow, this is a great resource! I’ll go over it, thanks!

I run a 9000pro from a MDD in my dual 1ghz QS. It is great in osx for games like q3a and is os9 friendly from what Ive heard (I dont use it for os9 myself).
