Wataru, I would tend to go with the 9800 if cost is not an issue -- it is a faster card than the 9600. Both work great with flat panels (though you'll need a CRT for stereo).
Also, I've found that the 9600 does not support antialiased lines on the G5, much to my disappointment. I do now know whether or not the 9800 suffers this same limitation. Perhaps others can comment? There were some glitches with Stereo on the ATI series of cards, but these may have been fixed by now. Cheers, Warren -- mailto:war...@delanoscientific.com Warren L.
