[G4] getting a graphics card...

[Mel Krewall]

The GeForce 4 MX is a good solution, you can also find GeForce 2 MXs  
for pretty cheap. The only retail cards right now are the ATI 9000 and  
9800. The 8500 was more powerful than the current 9000, but has been  
discontinued. I have a GeForce 4 Ti that I bought from eBay that works  
very well in my Quicksilver. The original Radeon Mac Edition was a  
pretty good card and will provide DVD acceleration if you can find one  
on eBay.
