ATI RADEON 9200 PRO 128MB MAC EDITION PCI |
New, Bulk - card only, no box. 90 Day OWC warranty.
| OWC NOTE: ATI states that Mac OS 9.2.2 is required to use this card. However, customers are reporting that older versions of the OS do function with this card, without drivers even needing to be installed.
OWC does not guarantee performance or compatibility with any older systems. We are simply passing on good information for you to make an informed purchase.
Here is a report from an OWC customer:
I ordered two ATi Radeon 9200's over a month ago and was very happy to finally receive them yesterday.
One was for a cross-your-fingers-and-pray project: putting a new Apple 23" aluminum flat panel Studio Display on a PowerMac 9500 running Mac OS 8.6.
The ATi driver software requires Mac OS 9.2 or later.
I am happy to report that the Radeon 9200 connects directly to the FP display an runs flawlessly WITHOUT drivers other than what is inherent under Mac OS 8.6. We also tried this on a 7500 running 9.1 (easier to test since the 9500 is a pig to open, and it worked beautifully there as well.
Thanks for supporting the Mac!
