Yup, checked, not yet downloaded - finished at midnight yesterday so I decided to call it a day

Also, attempting to flash a Radeon 9250 to gain Core Graphics support.

Unfortunately, flashing both my 9250 and GF4MX did not succeed (incompatible ROMs, couldn't force), so I'm stuck with Rage Pro for now.

FX5200 and Radeon 9200 coming my way. The previous owner says the former is rather unstable (kernel panics too often to please) under Tiger, but rock solid under Leopard. Did anyone encounter such problems before?

Tried, worked, thanks for the hint.

However, I'm somewhat disappointed with the performance of 9.2.2 on this machine. Ran The Songs of Distant Earth and, despite of superior hardware over LC630, the performance was mediocre (choppy video, not much load speed improvement over AppleCD 300 in LC). Plus, DVD playback doesn't work for some reason and network uplink is a joke - 80 kb/s, sometimes falling below 16 kb/s.
In "classic" mode it's even worse - a thing that ought to be expected, but I wouldn't expect it being THAT worse.

Do you have an accelerator for the video card enabled? That would be the first thing I'd check, especially since the DVD player may depend on it. The Rage Pro should support that.

Yes, both Rage Pro Accelerator and generic ATI accelerator enabled. Also, I have finally received two "flashed" AGP cards, an FX5200 and Radeon 9200. Will see if that helps.

Usually when you copy the fonts to that dir with Windows Explorer they'll be automatically registered, if you use any other program however, you may need to force rebuilding the font cache.

Unfortunately you're basically forced to use Visualize FX series for PCI. It's not that bad, as I've seen FXE going for less than 20, and FX10 for 50/60 bucks on eBay. Too bad you're in Canada, because I'd send you FX5pro, or even FX10, which I don't need.

If you're adventurous, you can also try and buy FireGL UX , but I was never able to see the PCI one in the wiild.

Be patient and keep watching. I got a C8000 off eBay for $100 (CAD) last summer from a Montreal-area seller. Dual-core 1.1GHz (with a second socket for a second dual-core CPU), 16GB RAM, 146GB SCSI HDD. The seller asked if I wanted any more than the one I bought at auction. He had two others that he couldn't sell. But that was 8 months ago, so they're probably gone by now.

On a polish auction service allegro.pl there were three C8000 ranging from $80 to $200 (depending of completeness - the high-specs one had two CPUs, FireGL X1 and two disks populated, the $80 one had no disks, one CPU and was running headless).

Actually, it was Windows 7 that surprised me positively, when we tried to install it on an 2004 PC with Sempron 2800+, 512 MB RAM and SiS integrated graphics. It was really snappy, worked as quick as XP SP1. As for Windows 10 - well, I'm hoping they'll improve it further - my TPR lasted only 18 hours, after which I simply rolled back to Win 7 x64 I had. Windows 8 was schizophrenic - didn't quite know what it was, it was forcibly dumbed down plus, many functions were doubled between standard Control Panel applets or MMC and the "apps". Window 8.1 was still dual-personality, but you finally got to say, which personality you like more. Windows 10 is just evolution of that - it's still in a very raw state, unpolished, and missing things I actually like in previous releases.
