You are being given bogus info. I can't tell you why your 9000 isn't working
(I believe some folks are trying to help you out in the forums ), but a
GF2MX (or GF3) will run your 20" just fine and it's a much simpler install
since it fits the Cube without any modification. I recommend additional
cooling, as always. If you need dual-display support, try a Radeon 7500, as
many will also attest to.

I'm curious as to who at Mac-Pro you were speaking with? Mac-Pro isn't a
service provider, they are a reseller. Do you mean MacResQ? I'd like to know
who you spoke with there, too :)
