G5 AGP Video Card Compatibility
Hello all, I hope someone can give me an answer to this question.
I am considering purchasing a M9393LL/A (Dual 1.8-GHz PowerPC G5). As I read the specs, it has an 8X AGP slot for the video card. I currently have a G4 QuickSilver with a ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition card in it. This is the one with 256 MB on the card. Will this card work in that G5 or not. I have read discussions about the pin set-up possibly be different on the 4X AGP slots but I can't seem to get a definitive answer from the discussions. Can anyone help? I know there are better video cards out there, but my ATI has served me very well and it would be a money saver to use this one in the G5.
Thanks in advance for your help.
