Hello,
I have a PowerMac G5 (PowerMac7,3 model). It's running slightly sluggish so I'd like to see what I can do to speed it up a bit.
I've already maxed out the RAM (8GB) but I think the cause might be in the video (it seems to work hard when viewing/editing video and images. It currently has the standard ATI Radeon 9650 with 256 MB of VRAM.
I'm wondering, if get the XFX Radeon HD 4650 1GB 8x AGP Card, will it work on this machine and should I see an improvement? Or is this machine simply at it's maximum and I should live with it, or start saving for a new one?
Thanks!
