[QUOTE="bryphotoguy, post: 548427, member: 26695"] No, the PowerMac uses a full sized video card. You could pick up a cheap video card for a G4 for $50 or something. But it depends on what G4 you own. If it's an early model, it's PCI graphics. If it's a later model it uses 2/4/8x AGP. Most 8X AGP Mac based graphics cards will work in older models. (I say Mac based because you can't just install a PC video card in and expect it to work.) Do you know which version of the G4 PowerMac you own? The early four (PCI, AGP, Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio) all look exactly the same with the dark grayish front panel. The Quicksilver has a clean light gray front with an oval optical drive door and the Mirror Door Drive model has a door that's metallic. Or, if you visit [URL="http://support.apple.com/specs/powermac/"]here[/URL], you can enter the serial # found on the back of the machine and it will tell you which version you have. [/QUOTE]
