The way out is through

Everyone computer savvy enough to have bought the level of card you're looking for (Radeon 9000's, etc) were also savvy enough to be using AGP by then. You're simply not going to find what you're looking for, clearly no one here has something just lying around.
Here's a sampling of what it's gonna cost: $20 ATI Rage 128: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...8P-32P&cat=VCD $40 Radeon 9000 128: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...0-P128&cat=VCD $45 GeForce FX 5200: http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?inv...128-CO&cat=VCD But chances are, you'll have way more success just dual booting a newer PC rather than trying to get some old crappy MB and video card to support OSX.

As I said, even the latest PCI card is unlikely to work and just not worth spending any money on. There just aren't any PCI drivers or drivers that go back to any of the PCI generation GPUs might be a better way to put it.
Again, the on-board works, just with limited resolution and no optimized driver. There actually was a 10.4.1 kext for the IEG2, but it was never updated and will not work on any higher rev. It has been fun getting both Leo and Tigger working on the thing. I am trying to make it so it it will triple boot. Windows on Primary master, Tigger on primary Slave P1, and Leo on P2. Getting the windows boot loader and Darwin working together I may just make it. Tigger from a slave at all was a challenge. Leo was happy as slave P1, but is complaining about being P2. It may not be possible, but fun trying. In many ways this is kind of like getting an old 3.x Novell server with jumper/dip switched interrupts and memory addresses on cards and dependent drivers back in the dark ages. You have to actually know what is in the machine to make it work. Definitely not a 1 button install. The other thing that is weird is that even though it is a Prescott SSE3 P4, it does not like the SSE3 kernel for Tigger.

Unless this computer thing supports some kind of awesome porn website, I don't see the point.

I have my ATI Radeon 9250 PCI card, that I don't use, because I got an nvidia built into my new motherboard...
I'll sell it for $100, cause I have to pay off two speeding tickets... haha lucky me I also have installation disc, and it was never used, just collecting dust |

I'm sure the more attentive ones figured it out, Master of Obvious, arch-nemesis to Dr. Obscuro!

Wait, what about a different MB, Dean? I have two spare Centrino 1.73's you can have if you find a board for them! lol. And a stick of PC2100.

I have an old Blueberry iMac with Tiger on it that I only really use to support my parents who have macs. Even with a gig of RAM and a 7200RPM drive, it is quite slow (G3-450 I think) This was just kind of a challenge to see what I could get to work without spending any money. In many ways, it was like the old days of Windows DLL hell and Linux package dependencies before APT and YUM made everything mostly better. Quite primitive in this day of one button installers and automatic updates. As far as I can tell, neither T or L will boot from a slave drive from anything but P1. They both Panic even though Darwin correctly identifies them. T actually won't boot even from P1 as slave via Darwin, but Cash0 run from Windows boot.ini finds it and starts it correctly. I am going to put one of them on a different drive on the Secondary master and see if I can get to all 3 that way. There doesn't appear to be a way to control what Cash0 does. It links to whatever HFS+ it finds first as far as I can tell. Yes, this is how unemployed nerds entertain themselves after they have completed the Internet. And Tyson, there is no awesome porn on the intarweb, only bad-good and that may be generous. All awesome porn is live and interactive!

Funny how you can't find any older computer stuff when you need it. Let me look around I have probably thrown 10 or 20 of those away in the last 2 months.

Don't bother, I don't need it any more. Now if you have a spare Core 2 system lying around waiting to be thrown out, let me know.
