[G4] Re: In search of Video Card

[Mel Krewall]

There are two versions of the 9800, one for G5s (Pro Special Edition  
256 MB) and one for G4s (Pro 128 MB). ATI also makes the 9000 Pro 128  
MB. These are the only two AGP video cards that you can buy at retail  
for an AGP Mac. You can find a variety of ATI and Nvidia cards on  
eBay as well, but be careful that you get Mac cards and not PC cards  
flashed with Mac firmware that may not have all the features enabled.
