| I've been attempting to compile a list of compatible video cards and chip sets for use with Rhapsody running on Apple computers. The following is a list of video cards I have personally used in Rhapsody systems: |
|
|
ixMicro Ultimate Rez (TwinTurbo 128M-3D) with 8 MB VRAM
ixMicro TwinTurbo M8 (TwinTurbo 128M+) with 8 MB VRAM
ATI Rage 128 with 16 MB of VRAM (pulled from Blue & White G3) |
|
|
|
|
| Additionally I have successfully used the built in video on the following systems: |
|
|
PowerBook 3400c/200 (1 MB VRAM)
PowerBook G3/266 (ATI Rage LT Pro with 4 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh 7500/100 (2 and 4 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh 8500/120 (2 and 4 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh 8600/300 (2 and 4 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh G3/233 Desktop (ATI Rage II+ with 2, 4 and 6 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh G3/233 Mini Tower (ATI Rage II+ with 2, 4 and 6 MB VRAM)
Power Macintosh G3/266 Mini Tower (ATI Rage Pro with 2, 4 and 6 MB VRAM) |
|
| Apple specified that Power Macintosh computers that shipped with bundled video cards were supported by Rhapsody. The two Power Macintosh series that shipped with video cards were the 9500 and 9600 series systems. From what I can tell, Apple gave all of the cards the label "Apple Accelerated Graphics" even though they were different cards. |
|
|
9500 series (original): ATI Mach 64 with 2 or 4 MB VRAM
9500 series (alternate): IMS TwinTurbo M2 with 2 or 4 MB VRAM
9600 series (200, 200MP, 233): IMS TwinTurbo M4 with 4 MB VRAM
9600 series (300, 350): IMS TwinTurbo M8 with 8 MB VRAM |
|
| So based on what I've both experienced and heard, the following graphics chips sets that seem to work with Rhapsody on PowerPC computers: |
|
|
ATI Mach 64 (Rhapsody 5.0 and later)
ATI Rage IIc (Rhapsody 5.3 and later, maybe 5.1)
ATI Rage II+ (Rhapsody 5.1 and later)
ATI Rage II LT (Rhapsody 5.3 and later, maybe 5.1)
ATI Rage Pro (Rhapsody 5.1 and later)
ATI Rage LT Pro (Rhapsody 5.3 and later)
ATI Rage Pro Turbo (Rhapsody 5.3 and later)
ATI Rage 128 (Rhapsody 5.3 and later)
ATI Rage 128 Pro (Rhapsody 5.6 and later, maybe 5.3)
IMS/ixMicro TwinTurbo 128M+ (Rhapsody 5.1 and later, maybe 5.0)
ixMicro TwinTurbo 128M-3D (Rhapsody 5.3 and later) |
