.aero Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The two remaining problems left in my OSX installation is the graphics card and the wireless network card. So, has anyone successfully installed a 7600 GS 512 (AGP) on Leopard? Did you have to flash the graphics or are there other safer methods to do? If I have to resort to flashing the card, are there any performance hits when working with vista/xp, or any effects at all that I should be worried about? How easy is it to flash back to normal if I mess anything up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.aero Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 It seems that the nvinject method does not work with AGP cards (http://nvinject.free.fr/512Mb.html) Anyone have any ideas on what to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piyokos Posted May 17, 2010 Share Posted May 17, 2010 ted1, Upload it to rapidshare.com I have a 7600 GS 512MB AGP. I patched my kexts however QE/CI isn't working. When I try to boot I get the flashing blue screen, so I must use safe mode, and it works fine with safe mode, gets the right resolution too... this is with nvinject Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
