My GForce 4 Ti died and my 9200 PCI seems to be on the fritz too. This

I agree heat is the deal for most dead GPUs. Stick with an appropriate

I have acquired a Power Mac G5, Model # A1117 produced around January 2006.
Has dual 2gig PPC's, 4 gig ram. Works like a champ as my wife's main computer.
I have a Apple cinema (20) attached and over all couldn't be happier.

i have recently bought an ATI Radeon 9600 with 256MB video RAM. I know
I have to do some tweaking to put it in a PM G4 graphite Sawtooth
It is a PC card. I have Leopard on the sawtooth right now, but the
video card has only 64MB video RAM. The video card in it right now is
an Nvidi GeForce 4

No, but if you're flashing an AGP card you'd need to have a PCI video
card in order to do the flashing on a Mac.

I'm talking DOS, pre-Windows. Most PC flash programs run best in DOS.
It's kinda like single-user mode in OS X, you're down to a base system
of command line only. no fancy GUI. I'm lousy at

If I recall properly, adding the VRAM gave more color options for my
beige G3. When I added the Radon 7000 to run Tiger I did have to
