[QUOTE="pokeman89, post: 912345, member: 121289"] Right, well the card I had was a GeForce FX5200, no fan, just a heatsink. I now have my PC running with a backup GeForce 4 MX 440. I know the mac graphics card will not work on my PC, I don't plan on trying it anyway, supposedly the Mac card is about the same as the current one anyway, if not worse. My Dell runs a 9600, not sure about the Mac but mine has a fan, and it is loud, louder than the other 3 fans inside combined, and the GPU fan is tiny! I really do not think I will be upgrading anything in the power mac other than the RAM, and thanks for the tip about the PC-2100. Oh, and it has leopard, not tiger, and I have tiger disks I can borrow from a friend if I want to, the guy has no disks with the mac. How about memory, will any PC-2100 RAM stick work? I have a 256MB Pc-2100 stick around somewhere. [/QUOTE]
