Advise on dual 1.25 G4 graphics card upgrade to run Motion and Shake.

I have a dual 1.25 GHz G4 PowerMac running 10.4.7 and would like to use Motion and Shake. Motion will not install with the factory ATI Radeon 9000 Pro card and Shake requests OpenGL support so I did not bother trying the install.
I'm considering the Radeon 9800 PRO or the GeForce 7600 GT
I'm also running an ACARD 6880M raid card for storage and hope to avoid any conflicts.
Any advise is much appreciated.

You should be able to get an AGP GeForce 7 series card. It's either a 7600 or 7800, but beyond that I can't remember. Of course, you'll have to flash it, possibly solder on a 128K EEPROM, tape or cut some pins, make sure you have a strong enough power supply...
Your other options are a Radeon 9800 Pro or GeFroce 6800 (Ultra, GT?). You can probably find a PC Radeon 9800 Pro 256MB card (make sure it has 8 memory chips instead of 16, is not AGP Pro/Double-Wide, is prerferably DDR and not DDR2, and to avoid soldering try to find one with a 128K EEPROM - which would never be specified on a site or anything). Again, you'd have to flash it and tape some pins as they're meant for AGP8x slots. They also don't fit well if you try to change their fan/heatsink, or so I've been told.
Definitely max your RAM, but maybe avoid PC3200 memory modules. ; P

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes..

What is a recommended Graphics card for G4MDD running tiger and sometimes 9.2.2
I really need to have both in accelerated mode, looking at my stats I currently have 9000 PRO with 64mb ram... don't need it for games but high end graphics applications currently using Starta Pro 2.5.3 on 9.2.2 which for my current purposes is afficient

The 9600 runs like crap in OS 9.2.2 with any ATI software you can find because ATI never wrote OS 9 drivers for the 9600. OS 9 ATI software does not recognize the card. You get a basic 2D monitor output that is soft, dull, slightly off-color, and cannot be enhanced with the Monitor's Control Panel calibration utility.
If you spend any amount of time in OS 9.2.2 or you want to use OS 9.2.2 for any of your old games (even 2-D video clip type games), don't get the 9600.
I have a 9600 installed in my MDD G4 and now have an original Radeon for Mac PCI video card installed as well. When I want to use any of my OS 9 games, I move the DVI cable from my LCD monitor over to the old Radeon card and restart.

Yes, only my boss informed me that they have to be display ports, he didn't tell me why.
I'm unable to buy from ebay or craiglist either & my local vendor doesn't have any in stock.

Quite a mouthful I know! but I need these specific graphic cards, ideally with next day delivery:

Looking for Macbook Graphics Card Upgrade

Hey,
I recently saw a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook Pro and was wondering if Apple offers a Graphics Card Upgrade Kit for a Macbook.
Thanks,

Welcome to the discsussions!
The graphics chipset is integrated into the logic board and cannot be replaced or upgraded.
Are you sure you saw one for the MacBook Pro and not the Mac Pro desktop tower?

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 process

Hi there. I am in the process of choosing a laptop to load elements 11 on.Putting minimum requirements aside, is there any advantage in getting a dedicated as opposed to an integrated graphics card, would it run faster on an i5 as opposed to an i3 processor and does a screen resolution of more than 1024 x 768 make any diference in elements 11? What should I be looking for to enable elements 11 to work efficiently without over specing? thanks folks !

PSE doesn't make big demands on the graphics card, but you want a screen that is at least 800 px tall to be able to use all the features. Some things, like the raw converter, may not appear at less than that.

Need help with graphics card upgrade

I have a stock p6140f and am looking to run on the new WoW expansion. I have gotten by to this point with the intel GMA 3100 /G33 that comes with this desktop. I have recently run into issues with crashes during game. I have always had it on the high resolustion and never encountered any problems. I am looking for a graphics card that will run the game WITHOUT replacing my power supply. I know that it has a 300W PSU and that is has a
Expansion Slots:
1 PCI x16 slot for graphics card
What I dont know is what will work for this upgrade.The specs. list it as a PCI slot, not a PCI Express 2.0 slot. If this card doesnt work then I was looking for any card that would be compatible with the system that could run the game
I was looking at the

Unplug your PC and open it up. Read the label on the power supply (PSU). What is the total wattage and the amperage on the 12+ volt bus? The amount of 12+ volt amperage is important when selecting a video card.

Graphics Card Options on iMac 20 and 24 inch

I hate thelack of consumer graphics cards options for the iMac. I was going to buy the 20" iMac and upgrade the memory to 256MB when I decided to check out the 24".
On the Canadian site, to upgrade the 20" X1600 card to 256MB is $150. On the 24", to go from the Geforce 7300 128MB to the Geforce 7600 256MB is only $90. Ram 'AND' better(slightly?) graphics card upgrade.
Can someone explain as I asked an Apple retailer and they couldn't.
I went into CompuSmart afterwards and they actually had a X1600 card but it had 512MB on it. (For $150, I'd think I'd get an upgrade to 512, not 256).
I guess us consumers don't need more powerful graphics cards.
iMac Core2Duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Let me see if I can explain this to you.
The grahics card in the iMac 20" is an ATI Radeon X1600. It comes standard with 128 MB of VRAM. You can upgrade the VRAM to 256 MB for $75 on the U.S. store. That's $150 on the Canadian store.
The standard graphics card in the 24" iMac is an NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 128 MB of VRAM. The upgrade option here is not just adding more VRAM, but putting a whole new card in the iMac. The 256 MB VRAM option for the iMac 24" is a NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT with 256 MB VRAM. That upgrade is $125 on the U.S. store. That's $90 on the Canadian store.
The only way I can think that this is possible is because, in Canada, ATI's cards might be more expensive than NVIDIA's cards.
There is no option on any iMac to get any graphics card with 512 MB of VRAM in it.
Hope this Helps

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box?

Slimline s5-1010 - HDMI graphics card upgrade, what graphics cards will work in slimline box? Cheap will do, under 100. Has 1 PCI Express x16, but the slot on back of pc looks about 2" too short for this?

Hi-
I think you will find there are more users of the ATI Radeon 9800 that DON'T have a 300w PSU, than those that do. It would leave out the majority of the G4 line if it were absolutely necessary. As I see it, it isn't absolutely necessary, and, it is also the ONLY higher end upgrade graphics card commercially produced for 2x, 4x AGP systems, most of which, DON'T have a 300w PSU.
My Sawtooth has a 237w PSU, and the 9800, and my processor upgrade, and 2 internal drives, all work just fine!
As for the piggyback connection, that is how you connect the power to the 9800. A splitter molex cable is used to split power from the superdrive connection, between the superdrive and the 9800.

Satellite Pro 6100 Graphics Card Upgrade/Replacement

I have a Satellite Pro 6100 p4-m 2.0 30gb and the graphics card has died. I love this laptop.
It had an NVidia GeForce4 420 Go 16mb
Can I replace it with a GeForce4 420 Go 32mb from the same models.
Is there something more powerful available that works with no problems for the 6100? ie. GeForce4 440 Go 64mb?
Cheers

Usually toshiba didnt offered a separate graphics card update but there were different graphics cards installed in your machine and THEORETICALLY you can use every of these cards in your machine. I cannot promise it but they should all work in this machine.
The problem is that you have to disassemble the machine completely and if you make something wrong then you know that there is no point of return since your machine is not anymore in the warranty. Maybe it would make sense to give the machine some technician to exchange the graphics card.
Unfortunately I cannot tell you which graphics cards fit in your machine or which partnumbers are needed. In this case youre on your own.
Good luck

PowerMac G5 1.8 GHz Dual (Buy April 2005) Graphics Cards?

I want to buy a new graphics card for my PowerMac 1.8 Dual GHz which a got in April of 2005. I have not made any improvments to the hardware at all. All I do know is that the Nvidia 6600 Upgrade on Apple.com will not fit into my computer slots. If someone can tell me out of this list, the ones that will fit into my computer. Thanks
One of the following graphics cards:
ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
ATI Radeon 9800 XT or 9800 Pro
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL or 6800 GT DDL
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500
PowerMac G5 Dual 1.8GHz Mac OS X (10.4.3) I don't know if I have PCI or PCI-X or PCI-Express ports.

Happy New Year!!!
Would you say ATI Radeon 9800 Pro is better than Nvidia 6800, in terms of both performance and price?
Thanks in advance.

K9ND Speedster & Dual PCI-E 8800GTS Graphics Cards

Hehe, this is funny question, or just down right depressing if your in my shoes...
Ive been having problems with a K9ND motherboard on another topic, which i had to return. Ive just bought another K9ND Speedster motherboard, and im woundering... Has any one had a Dual PCI-E graphics card setup with the K9ND Speedster, as ive looked at the signatures for most of the top Workstation/Server posters with K9ND boards, and notice they only have 1 PCI-E installed.
Does Dual PCI-E 8800GTS cards work correctly on the K9ND Speedster motherboard, as i had the dredded code 12 "not enough memory resources, disable one of the devices", when i had them installed on the last motherboard.
I really hope that i can run my 2 8800GTS XXX graphics cards with my new MSI K9ND Speedster when it arrives before christmas hopefully, as i need 3 or 4 screens with gaming graphics.
