It may not work at all with that G4. I bought the Sonnet G4/700 for my 9500, and *then* found out that my Twin Turbo didn't work at all (was using 8.6 at the time). Ended up buying an ATI7000 card, recommended by Sonnet. But that introduced another handful of problems (to get full video acceleration, you need to be running OS 9.2 or better, which isn't (offically) supported on 95/9600's! This started a whole chain-reaction of incompatablities that took me months to straighten out, and ended up being the biggest computer-related pains I've ever delt with. Now that its all worked out, though, I really like the G4. But if I'd known all of the headaches ahead, I would have spent the $300 and instead have bought an Apple B&W G3 and upgraded it. ---Alex -- PCI-PowerMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
