[QUOTE="Sokko, post: 1036781, member: 134771"] Hey there, I recently bought a used Power Mac G5 (ID: PowerMac11.2, 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM) and am running the NVIDIA GeForce 6600 as my graphics card. I did some research and I only found these as other compatible cards: * GeForce 6600 LE * GeForce 7800 GT * NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 (part number 631-0110) [url=http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2848]Power Mac G5 (Late 2005) and Mac Pro: Graphics card compatibility between models[/url] That and flashing video cards to make them compatible but that is over my head. What I am primarily using this Mac for is Final Cut Pro and After Effects. Besides upgrading the RAM, I thought it may be worthwhile to also upgrade the video card too. Would the NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500 be the way to go? Is there something better and possibly cheaper? I work with HD footage and do some 3D compositing in After Effects as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! [/QUOTE]
Verification
How many occurrences of a n-u-m-b-e-r between "d" and "f" in this example...(sdgs6ngklu3gd#f9%)?
