[G4] G4/AGP sawtooth/digital audio advice?

[Mel]

The extra bus speed and the potential for much improved graphics with a 
4X AGP card such as the newer ATI or Nvidia cards will really help with 
OS X Quartz Extreme and new Panther features like Expose'. If you can 
stand to go for the faster bus, you won't regret it.
