[G4] Good gaming video card

[Mel Krewall]

Doom 3 specs state that a _G5_ 2.0 GHz or faster is needed at minimum 
to run it and I've read that the framerates are not even that great on 
maxed-out G5s. The minimum card is a Geforce 5200, which is not sold at 
retail for Macs, though you can sometimes pick them up on eBay (most 
recent closing prices were around $130). OWC has modded ATI 9600s for 
G4s (they are not sold at retail, either) for $99. Nothing cheaper than 
that will run. They won't be real fast, but that's your options. To get 
a fast card for 75 bucks you're going to need blackmail material on 
someone. Good luck.
