NVIDIA GeForce FX5200 (sp) on Swatooth or Gigabit

I recently was able to add a Radeon 9800 Mac Edition to my 1.6 GHz G5 and would like to add the stock video card (nVidia GeForce FX5200) to my friend's Sawtooth machine... is this card compatible?

Mac Pro @ 2.66 GHz, Power Mac G5 @ 1.6 GHz, Power Mac G4 @ Dual 1.8 GHz,, Mac OS X (10.4.11)

Hi-

It should be fine in the Sawtooth.

A Gigabit Ethernet will need the #3 and #11 pins on the card to be taped.
