None!!! The iMac G5's video hardware is not upgradeable.

how incredibly depressing.

The iMac G5 is not unique in regards to not being able to upgrade the video hardware. Pretty much EVERY iMac model since 1998 has not been able to do this!

Suggest checking out before purchasing perhaps? Sounds like you need a Mac Pro tower?

Much thanks for the input, comp has served me very well until only recently when I began using it for other than graphic design.

time to get a new comp I guess!
