DVL-Digest 811 - Postings: Index Re: 2nd video board for G4 [DV-List] Re: 2nd video board for G4 Re: 2nd video board for G4 - "Perry" Yet more plot thickening: I've found a UK retailer selling a Mac PCI board from German manufacturer 'Village Tronic' for a very good price. It is based upon the 3dfx chip which of course was bought up by NVidia and is now presumably obsolete. The Village Tronic web site (http://www.villagetronic.com/) seems to be up to date and refreshingly honest, but makes no mention of the chip situation. Any input from our Continental readers?

I have a couple of simple Formac ProMedia PCI cards, but they won't work in my G4. There is mention on the Formac site of ROM changes needed, but my board type is not deemed worthy of support! By coincidence a poster to the After Effects List suggests some mods to allow use of PC type PCI cards fitted with the GeForce2 chip. These are maybe going cheap now the GeForce3 is out.
