I need some help...I want to upgrade my video card and I've been looking around but I can't tell if these purchases on ebay are compatible with my Powermac G4 Dual 1.25ghz desktop. The first item is http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8735548851&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

and the second one is

http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=8736078182&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT

I've checked both specs at ATI (I checked my manual and it says it needs to be 4X AGP) but I am still not sure if this is compatible because there are a few different versions. Please, someone, advise me!

Regardless of the auctions beeing finished, none of those cards will work in the MDD G4.
The only 9600 that will work is the new ATI Radeon 9600Pro PC&Mac edition.
You can try to find a 9800Pro Mac edition (NOT Mac special edition, that's G5-only!). The 9800 is a faster GPU than the 9600, and prices are around the same nowadays.
