Can I take out the video card from my G4 867 dual MDD that has been sitting idle for 6-7 years and install it in my G4 1.25 dual MDD?
The Apple genius bar person was pretty sure that the video card on the 1.25 dual G4 is causing the symptoms I've been having: long time on the solid blue screen before my home page appears, etc. This is the card I would swap out: http://lowendmac.com/2002/power-macintosh-g4-mirrored-drive-doors/ Video: Nvidia GeForce 4 MX on 867 MHz model, ATI Radeon 9000 Pro <http://lowendmac.com/video/agp/radeon-9000.html> on faster models; AGP 4x; DVI and ADC ports, includes DVI-to-VGA adapter A) Is the Nvidia GeForce 4 MX video card compatible with the 1.25 dual G4? B) Would the visual difference in video display (between the two cards) be very obvious? C) Is this a fairly easy job? I've installed other cards, internal and optical drives, but years ago. The cost of purchasing a replacement video card seems not worth it, but we would like to continue to use this computer as long as we can. I kept the 867 dual drive for parts when the power supply was failing. I bought the 1.25 dual drive at a low cost some years ago, and decided to move my drives into it, rather than use its power supply for the ailing 867. Thanks for any advice...
