[G4] Video card

[Mel Krewall]

The 8500 performs better, despite the 9000's higher number and it has a 
VGA connector as opposed to the ADC connector that the 9000 has, which 
many people prefer. Not to mention that the 8500 has been discontinued, 
so are somewhat more desirable. Choose according to what your needs 
are.
