Need to get rid of my videocard...

[chewbaccapits]

How much would ANYONE buy this card for:

ATI 16 meg AGP videocard...I had it on my SAWTOOTH 450mhz G4

Can it sell?

Ebay all I can say for that one : )

Someone might be upgrading to a newer G4 with AGP, but wants to keep the newer AGP video card for their new mac.. they could by your card and slap it in : )

*rosy scenario for ya*

[Dont Hurt Me]

Sorry but that is a very very obsolete card. ati had a trade up program going perhaps they may give you a few bucks for it towards a new video card?

very very obsolete...Hmmm...I doubt its obsolete. I just changed it one week ago. Before that, yeah, you can notice a slight decrease from when I first got the computer, but obsolete...Thats an overstatement.

Heck my geforce3 64mb is starting to feel dated.

Yeah..Its not obsolete...That term is over used...I just replaced it with an ATI 9000 64meg card and its great, but it was a little speed boost...It definetly sped up my graphic + now I can take advantage of quartz, but really it wasn't that HUGE of a bump. Some people don't always need to run out and get the latest and greatest hardware, but since they can they do.

Hold onto it for a spare in case your new card gets fried.

Good point and just to mention videocards only make a small difference they still have to be fed and if your cpu cant feed it thats how it goes. I found this out myself after updating my card only got a small improvement. Mac cpu improvement has been very slooooooooooow.

AGP or not the last time 16MB cards were the latest greatest was 4-5 years ago.

I can buy a brand new 16MB AGP ATI card with built in DVD decoder for $21 shipped. If that isn't obsolete in the computer world I don't know what is.

I just want to add that I don't mean to be brash or rude by this post. Obsolete in the computer world doesn't mean that it is unuseable. Though it would be difficult to find any AGP graphics card that used less then 16MB of ram thusly who would by it? Everyone who has a computer with an AGP slot has at least a 16MB ATI or equivalent card in it. Thusly it is obsolete or no longer of very great desire to anyone.

Send it to me.
I'll keep it hidden if it's in trouble with the law!:D

I've got a very crooked G3 that absolutely loves harbouring "obsolete" hardware...
