I have a question for you fellas. When I purchased my new tower, I had a 4mx in there which i planned to exchange with an ATI 8500 from a 433mhz G4 tower. Well the 8500 works fine in the computer, but the 433 doesn't recognize the 4mx at all. This computer is running os 10.1.5. I could not find any drivers from nVidia's page or any info from apple.



Is there any way to get the 4mx to work under said OS? Do you guys have any suggestions or possibly any links to drivers that may work? Or will this require I upgrade to 10.2.x? Thanks in advance.

    Bump.



    Come on guys, is anybody out there even running this same configuration? I also have an ATI card in the PCI slot which is powering a second monitor. Both monitors are CRT's. When i start up the computer, the monitor being powered by the GeForce 4mx will load the smiley mac, but it freezes there and everything displayed is put off on the monitor being run by the ATI card (a 16mb Rage 128 i believe). Is there a conflict between these two cards, Or should this just work? If it should just work, then tell me that!



    Please help.

    Have you tried removing the ATI card from the PCI slot to see whether the GF 4MX works on its own? If both cards work individually, but not together, perhaps there is a conflict. Is the monitor connected to the GF 4MX in the same way it was connected to the Radeon 8500 (i.e. via VGA, not ADC etc)? I have a feeling earlier towers had an AGP slot but didn't provide the power for an ADC connector. I don't know whether this would prevent the card from working entirely, even if you were using the VGA connector.
