Where can I find video cards compatible with my old macs?

I have 4 mac G4s I am using for an installation at a gallery. Two are Sawtooth and the other two I believe are yelp. I need to put additional video cards in them.
I am looking for video cards that can run dual monitors. I have been looking for
mac compatible PCI video cards that run at 2x.
Locally no stores I visited carry mac-compatible graphics cards. I haven't been to the Apple store yet because I have never found a product there that was useful for these machines, they're just too old.
Online I have found at macsales.com
RADEON™ PCI Mac Edition by ATI
for $100
and at yourmacstore.com
ATI RADEON™ 7000 PCI Mac Edition
for $50
Does anyone know if either of these will run dual monitors? If they will run on my G4s?
Any suggestions of what kind of card I can use and where I might find them at the best price?
g4 sawtooth and yelp   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

The 7000 supports only a single VGA monitor; the Radeon PCI Mac Edition supports one VGA and one DVI monitor connection - you could use a DVI-to-VGA adapter to drive dual VGA monitors.
Both are PCI cards and the performance will be slightly lower than using an AGP card, but you benefit from the savings in cost. Getting four AGP-compatible cards would be much more expensive.

    I want to make my g4 wireless where can I find these cards to do so? Any recommendations to purchase them? Thanks in advance

    Instead of using either of the AirPort cards, you may want to consider using a USB wireless adapter instead. The advantage of this would be that thise adapters support the newer 802.11n networks. FWIW, I use one with my G4 Quicksilver Power Mac and it works great. There are a number of vendors out there that sell these. One example would be Other World Computing (OWC).

  • Is the FX5200-T128 video card compatible with an Athlon 64 CPU and a K8N mobo?

    I am building a new computer based on the Athlon 64 3000 processor and the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    I intended to use MSI MS-8907 GeForce FX5200-T128 as the video card.
    However I have been told that this video card might not be compatible either with the Athlon 64 processors or with the mobo MSI K8N Neo-FSR.
    Is it compatible or not?
    If it's not compatible, what is the cheapest MSI video card compatible with the Athlon 64 and the K8N?
    Thank you in advance for your help.

    If it's there, it means they at least inserted the card, booted, and installed drivers, as far as what they do from that point is anyones guess. You will see the far right column shows 4x or 8x.
    I agree, it is minimal info at best and not my idea of what should be included in a test report.
    I don't see any reason why that card would not work, the market is saturated with that type of card.

    Actually the best place is the web site for the printer. You'll also need the model, but there are still some OS9 drivers out there.
    You must supply the printer make and model for people here to help further.

  • Where can high-power video cards be installed on a first-gen Mac Pro?

    I have a first-gen Mac Pro with a Radeon X1900 XT in Slot-1 and a Geforce 7300 GT in Slot-4. The x1900 XT powers a 30" monitor and the 7300GT powers 2 x 20" monitors. The 7300GT card died and is being replaced with an 8800 GT.
    Now it seems fairly obvious that for gaming the 8800 GT is superior to my X1900 XT. Ideally I'd like to just throw my new 8800 GT in Slot-1 and use it for my 30" monitor and then run the 2 20's off the X1900 XT in Slot-4. The problem with that is that the x1900 XT is a huge card and physically won't fit in Slot-4 because it runs in to the hard drives above it.
    *Now, on to the questions / clarification:*
    _Question 1_: Is the first-gen Mac Pro the same as the new Mac Pro in that high-power cards can only be used in Slot-1 and Slot-2? If so, why does it come in the standard configuration of:
    Slot-1: x16
    Slot-2: x1
    Slot-3: x1
    Slot-4: x8
    It would seem that Apple purposely did this so you would run 2 high-power cards in Slot-1 and Slot-4 and keep them away from each other for heat reasons. The new Mac Pro has x16 bandwidth on Slot-1 and Slot-2 and it would make sense why they say to only install high-power cards in Slot-1 and Slot-2 for it.
    _Question 2_: PCI-e configurations. There are a few ways I could tweak the configuration of the expansion slots to make this setup work. I'm curious as to which you would think is best:
    *Option 1 (default PCI-e config, only works if a high-power card can be installed in slot 4):*
    Slot-1: x16 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
    Slot-2: x1
    Slot-3: x1
    Slot-4: x8 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
    Now, the first issue is can the 8800 even run in Slot-4 due to the supposed power problem? If so, would there be a difference in performance for gaming at x8? I know this is backwards because you'd want the "primary" card to run on x16 but that's just not possible with this PCI-e configuration. If there is a difference in performance would an 8800 GT at x8 still run significantly faster in games than an X1900 XT a x16? I'd think so, but that's assuming the x8 isn't a real bottleneck.
    *Option 2 (the only solution if the cards have to be installed in the first 2 slots):*
    Slot-1: x8 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
    Slot-2: x8 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
    Slot-3: x4
    Slot-4: x4
    You still have the issue of the 8800 only running at x8 (if it even makes a difference, not sure). The benefit I see here is that instead of the X1900 XT dumping all of it's heat in to the 8800 GT (since heat rises) you have the 8800 GT on the bottom where it might run cooler. The X1900 XT would then also be limited to x8 but it's not even being used for gaming so it wouldn't matter at all. The X1900 XT is huge and would cover up Slot-3 but I don't use the other 2 slots so I don't mind.
    *Option 3 (only works if Slot-3 can actually power an X1900 XT):*
    Slot-1: x16 - GeForce 8800 GT - 30" monitor for major tasks / gaming
    Slot-2: x1
    Slot-3: x4 - Radeon X1900 XT - 2 x 20" monitors for minor tasks / programs
    Slot-4: x4
    This seems ideal only because this is the only setup that can get the 8800 to run at x16. The issue now is can Slot-3 run a high-power card? The card doesn't really NEED the power since it's just for running basic apps and not gaming. Again, the X1900 would cover up Slot-4 but it's not being used so no worries there.
    *At the end of the day, the most important thing to figure out is:* where can high-power cards be installed in a first-gen mac pro? Once we know that we can figure out Question 2. The instructions that come with the 8800 GT say it can be installed in any of the 4 slots, but I don't know if I really believe that.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Thanks for your help, I think we've beat this horse to death :P. I'm glad I got it all figured out though.
    Now the only question is if the gaming performance of the 8800 is actually enough better than the X1900 to warrant making it my "primary" video card. As long as Adobe CS3 apps don't rely on core image like some of the Apple Pro apps do I think it will be fine. If they do I'd have to probably just stick with the X1900 since I use CS3 every single day and only play video games once a week if I'm lucky.
    What are your thoughts on the X1900 vs the 8800 GT for CS3?
    Edit: This just occurred to me... Since I'm going to have to run them as x8, x8, x4, x4 there isn't really going to be a "primary" card since neither will be at 16x. I guess I could technically just plug my 30" monitor in to either one of them depending on what I feel like doing. If I'm going to play a game I just plug in to the 8800 and if I'm working I plug in to the 1900. The computer is up on the desk so moving the monitor from one card to the other takes about 10 seconds. I could just plug 1 20" monitor in to each so there's always a free DVI port on either one.
    It's not the most elegant but I guess it would be a good compromise if I wanted the "best" performance in either situation. I realize the Radeon 3870 is probably the best of both worlds but I really don't want the noise. I already modified my 1900 with this after 6 months of listening to the lawn mower that was the stock 1900 cooler: http://www.arctic-cooling.com/vga2.php?idx=147
    I'm just hoping the 8800 isn't too loud .
