[QUOTE="sabot, post: 1277423, member: 130332"] Hi guys i have a late 2005 dualcore 2.3 G5 & have had a couple of issues lately i'm getting a few Kernel panics which i think may be down to bad ram but i need to spend more time moving it around to determine exactly which sticks are to blame. my main issue or cause for concern at the moment is the fan on my 7800GT video card. seems to run loudly a lot of the time, not like it used to when the card was new. i'm thinking of getting the quadro fx 4500 as i know where there may be one going spare but i have read that gamers etc should steer away from this card?? not sure why ?? i'm not actually a gamer but i do work the cards pretty hard in photoshop etc so would the 4500 be a good upgrade? anybody have experience of both/either of these cards? also i have the seperate power cable you need for the 7800GT, does anybody know it the quadro fx4500 uses the same cable? hopefully it does :) [/QUOTE]
