I'm having a similar problem. Or I did. I tried to put in a pci graphics card. Oooops. Looking at the back of the G4 - the configuration is for AGP graphics. I had a spiffy AGP graphics card w/ 256 MB of Video Ram. But it wouldn't fit into the AGP graphics slot. now it boots and works, but it only has 16 MB of VRAM. I'm looking for a card that fits. Should I take nice steady pictures with a tripod and upload them to here somewhere?
