Hey You can't use normal video cards used in most PCs unless you change the firmware on the model to suit Macs. This can be done by a home user I believe though I'm not sure on the complexity of this issue..

(Video Cards) >It has suddenly started putting patches of short fines lines on the >screen, mostly over icons and a set that moves with the cursor. I took my own G5 over and started transplanting parts. It turns out the ATI 9800 Pro card video card is the culprit. Anyone know where I can get a second hand or new one at a reasonable rate? The machine has a Cinema Display so I'll need a card with an ADC connector (or an adaptor). And on the subject of video cards - can PC video cards be used? There's a stack of cheap nVidia / ATI cards available out there... Cheers, Antony. -- ================================================================== = = = = Antony N.
