Flash PC nVidia GeForce4 Ti4600 to Mac GeForce4 Ti

[imported_theEman]

Hey Guys,
Does anybody have any experience with flashing the PC version of the nVidia GeForce4 Ti4600 into a Mac version? Is this possible? I've checked out a few websites that give information about these cards, but none of them say anything about reflashing them. I've noticed that the GPUs are both NV25 GPUs and that the memory chips are the same for many PC Ti4600s and the Mac Ti. Any information would be greatly appreciated.

dont listen to me but dont the mac cards have different connection to the mobo?
*waits to be put right*

or do they have AGP like PC

Nope, Macs all use the standard connectors, like PCI and AGP. You must be thinking of old, old Macs that used the NuBus connectors.

Although the geforce 2 and 3 parts could be flashed, geforce 4 parts apparently require a hardware modification.
