[QUOTE="davidp158, post: 74504"] [b]G5 video question[/b] I am about to order a G5 and wondering about the video specs. I've heard that the Quartz display technology hands off some of the on screen rendering tasks to the video card, but don't if any of the video cards help this or if they are for specific applications (gaming, 3D rendering, etc.). Are the DDR video memory specs posted below refer to memory on a video card, or is this memory on the motherboard? Sorry, but I'm a techno-challenged Luddite. I do mostly Photoshop image editing work, some graphic design (layout, illustration) and a little bit of 3D work. Which of the video card options from Apple help me, and how? I've also read the ATI offers a "9800 Pro Special Mac Edition" video card is supposed to be a great performance/value card. Is this the same card Apple offers? thanks for your info on this, Dave [/QUOTE]
