[G4] 128MB video card for Quicksilver?

[David Wrather]

I have a G4 Dual 867 MHz MDD & was also looking at the 9800 PRO Mac, but it
is still too expensive.  I was informed by http://www.barefeats.com/ that
ATI is about to produce a new 9800 PRO Mac with ADC & DVI outputs (128MB I
think).  Perhaps the prices will also approach the PC versions of similar
cards (about half the cost right now for a 9800 PRO).  In the interim, I
bought a 9000 PRO Mac 64MB ADC-DVI on eBay for about $150 to hold me over
for a while.  It works great with all of the gaming & video software that
I'm using now (include Halo, AoM, Final Cut Express 2 & iDVD 2)
That's my two cents worth.
