[QUOTE="pigoo3, post: 920370, member: 56379"] The video card is about all you can upgrade (other than a 2nd or 3rd hard drive). Your CPU is pretty much maxed out, and your ram may be maxed out as well (you didn't mention the model)...so the video card is all that is left. Depending on what model G4 you have...a Radeon 9800 Pro is a pretty "zippy" card for a G4...but it's going to cost you a bit: [url=http://cgi.ebay.com/Mac-ATI-9800-Pro-128mb-All-PowerMac-G4-G5-Video-card_W0QQitemZ260455903895QQcmdZViewItemQQptZPCC_Video_TV_Cards?hash=item3ca461b297#ht_3834wt_941]Mac ATI 9800 Pro 128mb All PowerMac G4 G5 Video card ** - eBay (item 260455903895 end time Oct-28-09 09:30:48 PDT)[/url] Hope this helps, - Nick [/QUOTE]
