Well I did afterwards. And it has artefacs in a pc and when I flashed to use it in an apple the artefacts are still there... I would say it's faulty.

Does anyone have a working 9700 in his SE or XE ?

if i take a closer look even the letters in Uboot seem to have artefacts.... Amigaone Se doesn't like that card at all

I placed a Radeon 9700 pro in my AmigaoneSE . It seems to work somehow, it's AGP2x compatible.

However I have problems with 2D graphics. All is slow, I can't move windows and there are screen artefacts. The 3D side seems to work fine when I try benchmarking with Boingcube. That said the results are rather bad, it is barely compared to my radeon 9000.

Do I need other drivers or isn't it all that good supported ?

Isn't the pinout from the ports a little different ? I can remember to had to buy a special parallel cable for my Epson scanner.

After some trial and error I got OS4.1 running, a NEC USB card in it that seems to work and also the network does what it is supposed to do.

Only strange thing to me is that it's always booting in to the early startup menu without me asking for it ?

Yes, I did found out that a 9800xt would work in AGP 2x but if a warp3d or "xyz" isn't supported or working as it should then I do not see the point in upgrading.

Interesting read on agp voltages.

An other source on the net states a 9600pro needs 4x or 8x agp slot but says a 9500pro can use agp 2x. Anyway for now I stick to the 9000.

I keep the 9000pro in that case

Concerning pci cards, should I look to voltages there also ?

I found a radeon 9600pro with 256mb ram in a pile of cards I salvaged from old winboxes .... is that supported somehow ?

I bought that video card long time ago for my pc and it's equipped with one of those big silent zalmann coolers. I like it very much, good enough for the G3 is suppose.

Got to buy 4.1 this week. I hope it goes as well as 4.0 on the old SE.

Weren't there problems with SE boards to start with , USB and IDE ? I forgot about it, I had ùA1 10 years ago and when the cpu died that was the end of me using OS4.

So the nec USB can stay, I just need to upgrade to 4.1 ?

I wasn't to active here but since today I have my A-SE G3 running after finally finding 2x 512MB memory modules that were compatible and did not cost an arm and/or a leg.

I am currently running OS4.0 on it to test the hardware, to see if I could get it running in the first place. I suppose next thing is buying OS4.1, I didn't want to buy it before I knew everything was working.

For now I have a Soundblaster Live 5.1 and a Radeon9000 pro. What can/should I put in there ? I placed a NEC USB 2.0 card but doesn't do much.
