I'd try a new ROM and/or double check pins 3&11 are covered up properly - sounds like one or the other.

How does one flash a ROM on a video card?
They stick it in a PC(or a Mac if they have a compatible card and ROM) then use an application(generally from within DOS while booted off a floppy/USB) to write the ROM file to the card.
The ROMs are generally modified in some way to be compatible with the card you are using as well.

You don't actually have to do it from another machine. When I flashed a card years ago I just turned on remote desktop before I installed it, shared the screen and flashed it directly on the Mac.

The problem with that is not all cards can be flashed with the utilities available for Mac OS. I included that, but made a note that it can not always be done. imo it is less hassle to do it on a PC anyway.(or a Mac if they have a compatible card and ROM

was not needed the card is an AGP 4X physical modification isnt needed thats the reason i flashed the geforce 3 ti 200 over the geforce fx 5200 which does need modification
other then a some what garbeld boot up screen the card performs just fine in mac os X it self
it even pushes leoaprd around with enough clout
