Is it true that the ati radeon card needs additional power or can I do a straight swap and upgrade the g4mx?
The term "ATI Radeon card" describes an entire series that started in 2000 and continues to today. Generally speaking, you should be able to do a direct swap of cards without issues. In some rare instances it might be possible that a newer card would require additional power, and in a Mac that's a near impossibility since this would require a replacement power supply with greater power than the OEM, and this generally aren't manufactured or available. Just swap the cards, assuming the Radeon is a Mac card with a ROM for a PPC Mac. If it's a PC card, you'll need to flash the ROM over to Mac first.
