CI/QE is indeed very nice, on an Intel Mac or Hack. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Re: G4 AGP - Graphics Card Options
NVidia GeForce cards work very well in my Macs. You can get a 5200/256MB AGP card for under $50; Core Image & Quartz Extreme will be hardware supported. It will boot Leopard without the delay that the 6200s experience. Of course you will need to re-flash the card to make it work in your Mac. If you don't want to go to that much trouble you could get a GeForce 4 Titanium Mac edition/64MB for about the same price.

G4 AGP - Graphics Card Options
Hi My PowerMac G4 AGP will be arriving today. It only has a 16MB AGP Rage 128 or 128 Pro. Would adding a better graphics make any difference. I don't do any advanced video editing (not on a machine of this speed), but I wondered if it would help with everyday tasks. Also I will run Tiger, but at some point intend on running Leopard which is very graphics dependent and relies on Quartz Xtreme. Does anyone know of a good graphics card that obviously isn't overkill on a machine like this. I don't want a 512MB super extreme card, but something better than the 16MB at the mo. Also it needs to have a VGA port as my monitor is VGA only.
