Do you understand how Turbocache works? It assigns extra system ram to the graphics card, which is how it makes its 256MB total. You card probably only has 128MB of 'real' RAM. Turbocache doesn't work with the OS X drivers, and to be honest, you probably don't want it to anyway. Not only does a 6200 not benefit much from more than 128MB of RAM, but using system ram as video ram in this way (i.e. in addition to 'real' video ram) is more for ticking boxes on sales specifications than actually providing you with any performance boost.

I have a 64MB version of this card laying around. Is there any point in putting in my Hackintosh compared to the Intel 950 chipset built in?
