Hi All,

One friend have a Power Mac 8600 without the video memory.

Can I Install a PCI video board?
If yes, can I install some PC PCI video board?


Thank you very much!

Yes and no.

Mac PCI cards will work, PC pci cards won't work.
You probably have to pay about $100 fro a new pci card..
VRAM shouldn't be that hard to get, you could probably find some on eBay or
if you know someone who has 4 mb (1mb x 4) to donate two of them to you.
