Ben174 Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Is it even worth bothering to install w/out a supported accelerated video card? I have a ATI Radeon X300 on a P4 3.0g w/ HT 1024mb ram. Will it function like a semi-decent (Mac-Mini) system? Or just be annoyingly sluggish and not worth wasting the time (and disk).

thrunner Posted November 20, 2005 Share Posted November 20, 2005 Is it even worth bothering to install w/out a supported accelerated video card? Just don't play any games & OpenGL stuff & video playback (Quicktime) much. Even built in games such as Chess will not play properly (can't move or see pieces move). Another problem is only standard low resolutions are supported (1024x.. 800x..). The point may be that supported Intel 915 and 945 chipset mobos are so cheap in the $60 to 100s that you can easily build one out of spare parts for under $199 (see thread).

WaxTrax! Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 What's funny is that if you sell your nice video card, you'd probably have enough to put together a compatible system, LOL Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/4635-does-unsupported-video-completely-suck/#findComment-37396 Share on other sites More sharing options...
