6:09p - Video Woes
Damnit!!
Massive thanks to the guys at Strangedogs.. The video card seems to be working perfectly. My G5 seems to perform better than my PC now.
Just one small problem.. Flashing the card disabled its DVI support. Guess what my main monitor uses? Yup.. DVI.. To convert the signal I'd need a $200+ gadget. It'd make more financial sense to get a new monitor..
Arrgh. So I potentially saved tonnes of money on a video card upgrade, but it's all getting a bit complicated now!
I have a nice monitor (was incredible when i got it! Stupid fast moving tech!) and a nice video card.. But I can't use them with each other!?!
So.. Frustrating..!!</f>.. Saying that, having more good monitors around wouldn't be a bad thing.  and TFT prices have dropped insane amounts.
A replacement "silent" fan for the 9600 has been dispatched too.. This is going to be lovely once its all sorted out!
current mood:  frustrated (comment on this)
