[QUOTE="thewk, post: 898296, member: 88342"] X800XT is a bit overkill for that machine, unless you can find a cheap one. Radeon 9800 PRO or 9600XT would be suitable options. G4 machines use AGP4x so in order to run 9600XT, 9800 PRO or X800XT you need to doa "tape mod" which will force those cards to 4X mode. I don't recommend X800XT for that machine, Mac Editions will be quite expensive. I would probably get a PC 9800PRO and flash it with Mac bios. 9600-series are tought to flash succesfully. Well, it's your choice. I bet you can google "supported graphics cards FSC Studio" + whatever version u have to see which graphcis cards work best with your version. [/QUOTE]
