[CUBE] VIDEO Cards

[Hal]

I ran a GF3 that I got from OWC a while back. It was the Apple OEM 
model. I sold it becuse with a 15" display it was a little overkill.  I 
got my GF2 card on eBay, also an Apple OEM model. The Radeon I tried, I 
pulled from a Dual G4/500 tower, also Apple OEM. The fact that they're 
OEM cards is important, as they're the only ones that fit the stock 
bracket that comes with the Cube.

Hope that helps.
