Like you Jon, I have an original 32MB card in my G4 I wish to have replaced. I have been looking into replacement video cards but haven't taken the plunge yet. I was hoping to gleam more information from this list. Getting a replacement card seems to be a bit complicated or if you don't mind spending lots of money, they can be had already flashed on eBay. And I do mean lots of money. To me the pre flashed cards are not worth the investment. Which I gather means you must purchase a PC card and then flash the ROM for compatibility with a Mac.

I have looked this site over as it speaks specifically to video cards for Macs
