I bought a new G5 2.7 gig machine with an ATI9650 video card installed. The card seems to work fine till my scene gets complex. Then when I go to bring up the animation time line the machine freezes. If I turn on the compatibility mode it works fine. Why then does it fail when My scene starts to get big? I have 2.5gigs of ram.

Get yourself some "Omega drivers". Steer clear of the official ATI drivers IMHO.
It's a shame stupidity isn't painful.

don't think Omega makes drivers for Macs do they? Update your driver software, latest avalible at ATI update Vue. if that doesn't work contact E-on's tech support
Hexagon, Carrara, Sculptris, and recently Sketchup.

Found out I could keep the Open GL on but had to turn off the backround draw thread.

Not sure. It'd be a shame if they didn't.
Sounds like the current drivers(or whatever Mac's use) AREN'T multithreaded?

don't know... I just added a ATI 9600 myself to replace the org Nvidia 5200 and everything has improve greatly since.. Vue has yet to crash since I installed it... I did download and install latest drivers but I also have had a redeon 7000 (pci, hacked PC card) and I think some of my problems was having to diff manufacture cards on one machine. though the only thing it bothered was Unreal Tournament and Vue.... both are running 100% now.
