I've got one of these cards for my Pismo and it's pretty sweet. Does get a big hot though. Combining it with a G4 upgrade might make for a toasty Pismo. The nice thing about the Villagetronic card is that you've got 2 separate video cards at work, meaning you get the top resolutions available for both the external monitor (including DVI) and your Pismo screen.
