I am using a standard monitor connected by a VGA cable directly to the card. I have taped pins 3 and 11 and the computer fires up fine, along with all drives and fans (including the x800's fan) but no display. I also understand that I need a DVI to VGA adapter because the DVI is not supported.

yes thanks, I have installed all necessary drivers

Did your mac have integrated video, or have you plugged the monitor into the video card? If it did have integrated video, the video card, and not your motherboard, needs to be what the monitor is plugged into.

Make sure you install your drivers for the new graphics card before you actually put it in.

I HAVE AN APPLE POWERBOOK G4 I PURCHASE FROM EBAY IT IS CURRENTLY RUNNING MAC OS 9 ,HOW CAN I UPGRADE TO OSX 10 ?

Hi Bobby
You will need to get an OS X installation DVD. Try eBay.Don't go for anything lower than 10.4 (Tiger)10.5 (Leopard) and 10.6 (Snow Leopard) should run fine on this machine.Don't bother with 10.7 or 10.8

I Have a MAC OSX 101.5 can I install leopard

Here are the minimum specs your Mac will need to run Leopard, from Apple:

Intel, G5, or 867MHz+ G4 processor
512 megs of RAM (though if you only have 512 megs of RAM you should get some more. Trust me, I'm a pundit)
DVD drive (Leopard is shipping on a DVD, and your Mac needs to read it to be able to install it)
9GB of free disk space (though I bet if you customize the install and leave out all those printer drivers and extra languages you can save lots of space)

Go to your apple menu, and look on the "about this mac" If your machine doesn't have the mhz's you are out of luck. If you don't have a DVD drive, you are not going to be able to install either...

Leopard won't install

Found this on the net:
http://www.brad-x.com/2007/10/27/howto-leopard-install-with-giga-designs-g4-upgrade/

Those upgrade cards always have given me a problem with migrating to Leopard. If you can upgrade to a used G5 or even Intel basd mac you might be more happier with less hassle.

ATI X800 XT Mac Edition and Mac G5 boot troubleshooting

I have the same card and many of the same issues. I got an RMA number and had to contact ATI after "Clear Business Days" to get a status report. Having finally gotten a response, I find out that it will be 10 to 12 WEEKS before the card comes back.
Knowing what I know now, I would not purchase this card again.
