Ah, that sucks. These are the only two Mac video cards I own. I have PCI Nvidia and Voodoo cards, but they're for PC.

Any idea if they're working on that odd limitation?


Voodoos don't have to be Mac-specific (AFAIR there never was a Mac Voodoo3) as that driver started on the GRex and does not reley on the card being prepped by OF/BIOS/whatever.

Problem is that there are still some PCI related issues with the G5 that make such combo only useable in G4 Macs.

It should work just as well as the other way round, but you may get lucky in avaoiding those PCI-issues.

Read, we will know after you tried.

One problem (besides the fact that I want my 9600 Pro) is that the Voodoo 5 needs a power connector that my G5 doesn't have. It only has SATA power connectors.


Actually it does have 1 normal/old power connector as the CD-drive is still IDE not SATA.

Splitters for these are penny-items on ebay or elsewhere.
