I think at the lower end of the scale like a 16mb 2 x AGP vs a 16mb PCI
card there would be very little difference but when you start to compare a
128mb PCI vs a 128mb 4 x AGP card there would be a much bigger disparity
in performance.
See here for a comparison
within a reasonable budget! :)
This is a nine years old machine and while nice to work with, is well past
its prime. This is mostly a budget hobby project with the aim of turning it
into a chepao gaming machine (within its limits) and kid computer.

It is still used to play games and the original ATI Rage 128 with 16mb VRAM
isn`t up to the task of running Medal of Honor as fluidly as it should.

Has anyone tried the 64mb ATI Radeon 9600 Pro shipped with 2004 PowerMac G5s
in older G4 towers?
My friend`s G5 uses this card and I would like to know if it could be
replaced by something better and moved to the G4 Gigabit. This would be a
symbiotic move between the Macs!

An AGP card is also a lot faster than its PCI equivalent as well.
Not all AGP cards are faster, a AGP 1x (never used by Apple) is
equivalent to the 33MHz, 64-bit PCI slot used in the PowerMac G3 BW
and the early G4s

So the question is: do you get different performance from the two cards.
I.E. is the speed of the PCI slot the limitation?
I think the 66MHz PCI
I get about the same performance from them, although Otto Matic is a

In this case for Gorka , I mentioned these upper end ATI and nVidia cards ( for
a GigE anyway )because he sounded like he wanted a big increase in pixel
pushing power.

A flashed Radeon 9800 256mb card off ebay will set you back $200 but is
probably the best you could get for a 2X AGP slot.
It depends on how much you want to spend too.
A 128mb version of the same card would set you back $125 or more.
I just bought a flashed nVidia 6200 256mb for my 2X AGP
