Flashes on nVidia card, not exclusive to Mac
Many users (including myself) have experienced a lot of annoying screen flash with their (my) nVidia GeForce 4MX card in the "slow silver" towers.
Well. My dual athlon just got a plain version of GeForce 4MX card to replace the GeForce 2 MX card.
Guess what? That card ALSO has the same screen flash.
I guess this is pretty much the defective MX chip across the board.
I am going to keep the card until Monday. If the flash gets worse I will return it.

And your Mac apparently...with the firmware updater ATI posted for the Mac Edition, it supposedly works with the PC version!
If I had known, I wouldn't have sent my GeForce4 MX to ATI for the $150 credit...
The ROM flashing is just happening and I am not willing to "risk". Time and my projects are far more important than having both the Radeon card and GeForce available to my Mac.
By the way.....after the trade up the Radeon is still cheaper than buying the brand new PC version of the same card
In Vancouver, the Mac cards sells for $449 CDN while the PC version sells for $340 CDN
