[G4] what type of video card?

[gifutiger]

CM I think that the power supply's for the Mac G4 series of platforms  
was 208 Watts.
You can get a direct replacement from:

http://www.welovemacs.com/g4powersupplys.html

They have a 237 Watt For Power Mac G4 AGP /Graphics Model for $269.95  
plus shipping.

One thing that is always a savior for your power supply is to have  
some canned air and to blow the dust and other junk out of the power  
supply and other other areas. You should do this at least every 6  
months.
