I have a Dual Processor 2.0 GHz PowerMac G5. My video card is the ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition. I originally had the Nvidia 5200 FX. The X800 was a huge improvement over the 5200.

The X800 is the best AGP card you can buy for the Mac. Actually, the X850 is the best AGP card; however; it was only a BTO option from Apple. Take a look at Barefeats to see how the X800 compares to the other AGP cards.

If you intend to keep your PowerMac for a long time, then I suggest you get a X800. Well, that's assuming you can find one and afford it.

If you intend to upgrade to a newer computer anytime soon, then I suggest you get the 9800 Pro.

-Hi,

Is this card too expensive: {Video Card}

Not sure where you live, but The Mac Guys here in So. CA have a few parts and have been around the block w/ Macs. You could call them or email your question. They've been very helpful in the Mac community and MUG (Mac User Groups)
