Re: Sawtooth Original AGP Card Number
Kris I found a PCI version of the 7000, will this be ok? does it support QE and CI?

I would support QE using PCI Extreme 3.1 but this PCI card isn't a good idea. PCI is HALF as fast as AGPx1, and I think your Sawtooth is an AGPx2 slot, so that would make the PCI 7000 about 1/4 the speed of the AGP version. Neither supports Core Image or Core Animation, only the 9800 Pro and GeForce 6200 will. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.

Sawtooth Original AGP Card Number
Hi I have a Sawtooth G4, but someone has put a PCI ATI card in it. I am looking to change it for an AGP card, does anyone know the Apple part number of the actual card that came with it. I have found two so far but not sure which one it is: Apple 630-2906, Apple 630-2992 Simon --- http://www.simonroyal.co.uk - Mac news, reviews, guides, upgrades, hacks and more... - http://www.nmug.org.uk - webmaster for Norwich Mac User Group - The box said requires Windows XP or better, so I bought an Apple Mac. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ 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.
