    PowerMac G4 MDD GPU Issue?

    Hi all! My PowerMac G4 has been giving me a strange issue lately, and because of what it does I'm going to guess it's the fault of the graphics card.

    I prefer throttling to noise

    I have never ever thought about using a laptop as my main video editing / rendering platform. I can understand the situation is kind of complicated for power users now that the Mac Pro seems to be on halt until next year. Still I consider laptops as a second option and not even a real...
