    Is it possible to put a Radeon 9800 Pro from a PowerMac G5 into a PowerMac G4?

    Hi everyone. I'm looking to upgrade either a Digital Audio, Quicksilver, or Mirrored Drive Door PowerMac G4. I've got everything decided except the video card.

    MacPro 6,1 — video performance fail?

    When I considered the new jet-engine style MacPro, it was to replace my old tower of power MacPro 1,1. The main reason I did so, was due in part to the dual GPU configuration. From what I knew of the graphics card industry, bridging both cards to drive a single display is not a new thing. Most...

    G4 Cube Mystery Video Card Qs

    What video card is this from the pic alone? I don't think it's an ATI Rage 128 Pro only because there is an icon in the middle and the ones on Ebay are on the outside edges of each plug. It's definitely an ATI Radeon card, sort of looks like the 9000 series, but this one appears to be DVI/VGA.
