Hello,

I have just bought on ebay a GeForce 6200 256 Mb, to put it on a 
PowerMac G4 Quicksilver 800Mhz (2002) under Leopard.

I should receive the card this week and the vendor told me that these 
information were written on the card :

M/N:SPAG44DH256U
P/N:geforce 62005(AGP) 256mb/64bits DDR2+DVI+HDTV+TV OUT
S/N MK06470461
SFAG44 REV:D1

So different questions :
  - how to flash it ? do i have to put it on one of my pc to flash it ?
  - where to download the ROM (and choose the good one, bacause I think 
that there is different Rom for the 6200) ?

Any tips are welcome.

Regards

John

What makes you think you *need* to flash it?

Usualy if they were made for PC, they need to be flashed to run on Mac...

And if that's the case for this one, wouldn't the manufacturer have that
information at their site?

Personally, I can't think of why one would buy a PC version GeForce 6200 
when there are Mac versions of the card available...

I would think the best time to have figured this out would have been 
*before* purchasing a PC version of the card, considering you could have 
purchased the Mac version of the card and skipped this whole mess.

Try to compare the price of PC ones and Mac ones and you will understand....

Okay, so you paid less for a card you can't actually use. I
understand...

I can't actually use it because I haven't flashed it yet, I will do it 
this week-end, but I would like to do it in the right way..I'm confident 
about the possibility to convert it to a Mac card..many people have 
already done it..so why not me :-)
