Hi,

I presently have the 9600XT installed in my MDD, which is working quite well, but I want OS 9 Mac OS X Jaguar to have accelerated graphics (which is not possible with the 9600XT as far as I know), while maintaining full compatibility with QE/CI on Leopard. The reason being so that I can try to use my RTMac again (I could use it in Panther, but the latest available driver which is obtainable only works reliably with Jaguar and earlier; there was apparently an updated driver for Panther, but it seems to be offline now, and is thus unobtainable).

That being said, will the NVIDIA GeForce 4 Titanium offer comparable performance under Leopard, while being compatible with at least Jaguar? Or should I just stick with what I have?

Any ideas? Is it possible for me to hack support into OS 9's ATI drivers somehow?

I believe this card was stock (or BTO?) on the early G5s, the earliest of which came with a special version of Jaguar that presumably had the needed drivers. If I could find that, that would accomplish 50% of my goal. Then I can play around with OS 9 and figure out how to get those drivers to work, if it's even possible.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
