[X4U] Re: Core Image and graphics cards

[Eddie Hargreaves]

Graphics cards cannot be changed in iMacs or PowerBooks, so if Apple lists
"17- or 20-inch iMac G5 with a 1.8 GHz or faster PowerPC G5 processor" then
I think it's safe to assume that whatever graphics card is included will
work, albeit meeting only the minimum requirement. My guess is that it
Aperture will run incredibly slow on your early G5 iMac due to the low
amount of built-in VRAM. I would definitely try before you buy or wait for
reports to trickle out.
