Are you using this card for OS 9?

Really, if you are, you'd be better off with a R9000, R8500, or R9200.

If you are using the card for OS X, just flash a 6800 GT.

250 pounds? to correct  a 30 dollar graphic card.. yea seems like a ripoff artist to me
if u are using macos9 u are better of with a radeon 8500 or 9000 yup
or a geforce 4 ti 4600 u could buy that for about 60 pound i would think

it could be that ultra-rare 9700 that was a BTO option on the OSX-only FW800 MDD G4s...
