I just upgraded my G4 from 400mhz to the Sonnet 1 ghz... all was fine... now I've added a GeForce3 video card... my resolution is now stuck at 640x480. I've tried resetting the PRAM and trashing the monitor preferences to no avail. I am using a SONY CPD-G400 19" monitor... I am running 9.2.2 all firmware is up to date... SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???

Give this a try,
blank>http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupportArea/AppleSoftwareUpdates/English-North_American/Macintosh/Display-Peripheral/Video/GeForceGraphics2.1.1.smi.bin

Am I correct in guessing this is an Apple card and not a flashed PC card?

I have the same problem with the link you provided... It says I cannot install this software on my computer. I am assuming that is because this is an updater and I have nothing to update... I need some Nvidia software, then maybe the updater will run... I am OPEN to all suggestions...

Did you use the extensions I sent you, or did you extract the extensions from the updater?

I actually tried both... Since your updaters were 2.1, I made sure I could get at those... then I extracted the 3.o version from the updater. Since I didn't know what would work I tried multiple ways to solve the problem. I never heard of TOME before yesterday.
