PowerPC 8000 series (PCI) - no graphics

[sloopy]

'ello,

if it death chimes it could be bad or it could be the ram is flakey...
as for the video... check to make sure the battery is good... (atleast 3
volts...) and also make sure you have atleast two vram simms in the
video slots... as for graphics cards... you need a mac specfic one... (
voodoo3's and ATI 7000's with 32meg DDR ram among others for PC can be
reflashed to be used on mac... but some require a pc to flash or a mac
with working vide to flash...)

sloopy.
