I JUST ORDERED A 9700 PRO OEM MAC EDITION OFF OF EBAY, AND I WAS WONDERING WHAT THE SPECIFIC PERFORMACE INCREASES OR DIFFERENCES THERE ARE BETWEEN THE 9600 PRO, 9700 PRO AND THE 9800. BASICALLY I'M WONDERING IF I MADE THE CORRECT DECISION ON UPGRADING MY G4 DIGITAL AUDIO W/OWC 1.467 PROCESSOR UPGRADE AND 1.25 GIG RAM

The problem with looking at Windoze graphics benchmarks is that OS drivers and applications are completely different than their OS X counterparts. The current state of the Nvidia 6800 Ultra performance on OS X is a good example.

dont take this the wrong way but you are a fool, 9700's only work in mdd g4's because of the power requirements.

oh and dont type in caps it pisses everyone off and makes you look like an idiot
