Dragon Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 well if the memory thing didn't work then try getting a new video card. the video card you have at the moment (845G) isn't supported by osx so u'll have to get one that is supported, i'd go with a geforce fx5200 because that's the card i got (i have a dimension 2300 and had the same problem). ps: make sure you buy a pci video card because i don't think your mobo supports anything other than pci.

miscasedpeas Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 awesome thanks Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7590-graphics-problems/#findComment-47622 Share on other sites More sharing options...
munky Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 er... DONT go for a geforce - only ATI cards are accelerated (ie have drivers under OSX) just now, whereas geforce cards will run in VESA mode (sorta like VGA mode on windows). get a Radeon 9550 if you want a really cheap card - it will be supported by OSX and give you Quartz Extreme and Core Image support.

miscasedpeas Posted January 24, 2006 Author Share Posted January 24, 2006 I need a PCI card though anything else? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7590-graphics-problems/#findComment-47663 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Technobob Posted January 24, 2006 Share Posted January 24, 2006 The highest Ati PCI model I can find is 9250 it is not currently supported Looks like your only option is to upgrade the motherboard Asrock makes a socket 478 that has Intel GMA 900 which is supported they sell for $90 CDN http://www.asrock.com/product/P4Dual-915GL.htm http://frontierpc.com/ProductDetail.aspx?p...1NC-AR-P4D915GL The only problem is verifying if it will fit in your Dell case and run on your power supply Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/7590-graphics-problems/#findComment-47678 Share on other sites More sharing options...
