Last question. I just browsed ebay and there are eight 9800 Pro cards available in 128mb and 256mb- and ALL say they are for the G4 and G5 with an AGP slot. They list it as completely compatible with any G5 and the G4 Quicksilver, MDD, DA, FW. They even say it will fit in 8x and 4x AGP.

It is a G5 card (8x) but I am fairly certain the G4 and G5 have the same AGP. Uh oh. I don’t know much about graphic cards, but G4 and G5 AGP slots are different in just the way you described. Sorry about that. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for
