Having always used the OEM video card in whatever Mac I bought,
Performa 630CD, PPC 6500 or MDD G4, I do not understand the need for a
different card. Would someone please explain the advantages of an
after market card.</font></blockquote>

Substantially: better graphics in 3D games, improved performance in 2D
apps which use Quartz. The only program I'm aware of in the latter
category is Aperture, and I can affirm that graphics card makes a big
difference.

<div>Really, if you want useful advice about this you need to give us
more information. Why are you asking?</div>

I am driving an MDD DUALIE 1.25 MHz / 2 GB RAM / 320 GB HD / NETSCAPE
7.2 / OS X.4.7 and I was trying to watch an episode of CSI on Innertube
and the "balloon kept spinning" and also when my daughter was watching
some Batman episodes on YouTube.<br>
<br>
Is this a processor glitch, I am maxed out on RAM, so I was thinking
that it might be a video card ... since I know absolutely nothing about
them.<br>
