ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition Video Card 100-435058 – Customer Reviews
Not for newer G5s
-
Nowhere on the description of this item does it say that this card won't work with newer G5s. Newer G5s had 8X AGP slots, not 4X or 2X.
There's probably nothing wrong with the card, but the description for this product is terrrible.10/25/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
A Great Buy.

I was looking to purchase a replacement for the ATI Radeon 9700 that my Apple G4 came equipped with. I had tried going with a safe and cheaper route with the 9200, that I still believed would function properly, but this was an obviously inferior card that was highly noticeable on crashes and freezes with motion graphic programs and applications with timelines such as Flash, After Effects and even iMovie.
After speaking to some techs at ATI, they recommended the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition, which aside from an extra power cable to connect inside the machine, was pretty much the same as my previous 9700 if not better. Placing the card in was easy and results were instant.
Definitely a worthwhile card that will not let you down with motion graphic intensive programs. A great buy.8/24/2006 12:00 AM | Rating:
