[QUOTE="gsahli, post: 1640545, member: 182015"] What I did about 4 years ago (maybe it was 5 or 6?) - in order to get Core Image, was buy a G5 user's original nVidia FX5200 ultra, and did surgery on it to use it in my G4 MDD. Back then, I got it for about $30 including shipping from eBay. The "surgery" procedure is on youtube and involves removing a couple of card edge connectors not used by regular/2x AGP. I used a dremel tool. Big caveat - I don't see improvement, other than in Sys Info where it says "Quartz Extreme - Supported." [/QUOTE]
