What is the best Video Card for a G5 1.8 (Single Processor): for Aperture 2.0
Hello fellow mac users,
I have a Power Mac G5 (Single Processor) 900Mhz Bus, 2.5 GB RAM, 500GB HD, GeForce FX 5200, 24inch cinema display.
I wanted to get Aperture 3.0, but quickly realized that my system requirements weren't up to scratch and it appears Aperture 3 will only work on Intel based Macs - so that's the end of that.
Never one to be discouraged, I found a copy of Aperture 2.0 and saw some good reviews about it, and checked the system requirements and it turns out that G5's are fine to run it.
I think the rest of my system requirements are fine; except for my graphics card?
Can someone suggest what graphics card I should buy? Perhaps a couple options in case I can't find them?
I am aware that my computer is getting older; quicker, and some hardware, and software (such as Aperture 3), just won't work on it anymore.
Nonetheless, I want to keep my computer going for as long as possible.
I have found the following video cards;
- Nvidia Geforce 6800GT videocard * 512MB DDR2 * AGP 4x / 8x connector * Dual DVI and TV-out * NEW (6800 gt)
- ATI Radeon 9600pro (9600 pro) * AGP * 256MB memory * videocard *
But I'm not sure if they will:
A) work on my computer and display?
B) work with Aperture 2.0?
I would be grateful for any suggestons.
Many Thanks,
Foginwater
