Hi, I was wondering what the best video card is for the Dual G4 1.42GHz. My friend wants to know, thanks. He doesn't really have a spending limit either, but if anyone can, name some of the best.

the best one you can use in that system with no modification is a 9800pro mac edition agp 4x (http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435050/). if you have *absolutely* no budget and are really concerned with the best graphics beyond reasonability, you could try to mod a firegl x3 (a pc workstation card) to work as an x800xt in the g4 (ive only heard about this being done) but that's an $800 card :eek: anyway here's a link to one: firegl x3 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814102470)
here's some texts of the x3 versus the 9800 pro, fwiw
