last year i got a mdd 1.25ghz [not dual one] and the video card was wonky. displayed in pink and after 2mins of use the screen would fill with hundreds of pixelated squares and then rip. since i have a quicksilver 733 i took that video card [readeon 7500] and put it on the mdd and it all works fine.
not long ago i saw on ebay a listing for a radeon 9000 for $17.99 - so i grabbed it and when i got it, it only displayed pixelated gibberish on boot up. seller sent me another one and i get the exact same issue.
placed both of these cards on the quicksilver and same problem in there too.
these two are dead right? unless there is something i'm just not doing right?
uploaded a photo of when it reaches the desktop [os9] - tiny squre is the mouse. lol.
i also reseted the nvram, pressed that little button on the board, cleaned the gold contacts and nothing. tried all the dvi cables i have, used the acer lcd monitor and then tried it on the tv with the dvi to hdmi cable. and nothing
