I think the fastest Radeon you can still get OS9 drivers for is the 9000
Pro - the 9200 pci is the latest but the pci bus limits it's performance -
anything above the 9200 seems to be OSX only as the drivers are in the OS.
The G5 has a different slot to the DA - I think the DA has the universal
4x slot and the G5 has the 8x pro slot so cards made for the G5 slot would
be very difficult to convert.
