Hi.
I have a Power Mac G4 (AGP Graphics), with
512 MB RAM
500Mhz processor
10 GB IDE HD
ATY,Rage128Pro card
which I intend to upgrade on the next few days to
1,5 GB RAM
1,6 Mhz processor
160 GB HD (I know it's limited to 128GB)
PCI card with USB 2.0
I think maybe it would also benefit from upgrading the video card. I have an Asus VW192DR monitor.
I would like to ask:
- What kind of compatible card would be best (if possible with examples from different brands)?
- Is there a compatibility limitation regarding the clock speed (I think - that's what is expressed in Mhz...)? E.g., being risky for the hardware if it's a card working at more than 66 Mhz; I think I read something like that on the G4 manual, but I'm not sure.
- Are there any good cards for less than $100 (with examples, if possible)?
I'm now running 10.4.11 but I intend to upgrade to Leopard after the processor upgrade.
Thanks
