Hurr, I suppose that's what I meant. My upgraded Power Mac 7600 is running a flashed Voodoo 3 2000 PCI, so I've been around the block a few times in this flashing game. Right now I'm sort of torn between one of the following:

- Radeon 7000 PC w/ 'borrowed' BIOS

- GeForce 2 MX (400) w/ flashed BIOS

- GeForce FX 5500 w/ modified 5200 Mac BIOS.

The 5500 would be awesome, since they come in a 256mb flavor, but I'm not entirely sure the ROMs that are available would work on that card. I'm not convinced I want to spend $40 to find out, though I could undoubtedly find a use for the card. The 128mb model would be nice, but they seem kind of pricey for what they are. A 64mb GeForce 2 MX would be all right, I suppose, but I really like the idea of a silly amount of VRAM.
