[G4] getting a graphics card...

[Crandon David]

Well, you're gonna enjoy the graphics  card because now you'll be able  
to take advantage of Quartz Extreme!

Anyway, a lot of us with similar machines upgraded to the nVidia  
GeForce 4 MX. This was  a card that came standard on later model G4's.   
There are a lot of them around for sale because Apple supplied them for  
free when it wasn't able to fill orders for machines with the Titanium  
card. When Apple finally shipped that card, they let everyone keep the  
GeForce 4MX.

They sell on eBay for $50-150 each.

There is one for sale now that hasn't had any bids yet and the auction  
ends tomorrow. Act quick!
