Re: Basic Video card question....

I would use a video card that has 256MB of VRAM. Most of my computers have that as a minimum, even though i almost never use graphics intensive programs, but just in case i have it there, it will be there. I reccommend an Nvidia GeForce 6800 GT with 256MB of VRAM. It can also have an extra 128MB of

Re: Basic Video card question....

The FX 5200 is shorter that the original card, so the hook used to secure it to the AGP slot latch is lined with the slot and has to get inside if I want the card to fit. It`s the same lenght as the Rage 128 fitted originally to early G4 PowerMacs (I had one to compare), so it would perfectly

Re: Basic Video card question....

If it is longer, be careful and try not to damage anything inside. Put it in carefully, and you'll be good to go. It will fit in, but i don't know about the hook. The hook may be some obstrustion to the system. I have expirience with an Nvidia GeForce 6200 GT with 256MB VRAM, it is very long, and i

Basic Video card question....

Sorry if this questions seems to naive/basic, but my experience with AGP cards is limited. I bought a flashed nVidia GeForce FX5200 128Mb to replace the 64Mb of a late 2004 PowerMac G5 dual 2GHz. The FX5200 is shorter than the original ATI Radeon 9600 Pro, so the hook of the GeForce card where

Re: A pretty basic video card question

Yes you can, either in extended or mirrored desktop mode. I have two Rage 128's in my PowerMac G3 running two displays in extended mode. :D On Dec 23, 2009, at 6:20 PM, tonycd wrote: > Just got an MDD G4 with a Radeon 9000 video card. > > My son just got a wall projector that has an RCA-jack vid

A pretty basic video card question

Just got an MDD G4 with a Radeon 9000 video card. My son just got a wall projector that has an RCA-jack video input. The Radeon 9000 doesn't have that style of output, but I have a PCI Radeon 7000 that does. Can I run the Radeon 9000 in the AGP slot and my 7000 in a PCI slot at the same time? --
