I wouldn't mind getting my hand on one of them and seeing how much speed I can squeeze out of it...

It's really hard to find one, the right one. Only 100% certain way to differentiate G70 from G71 version of this card is removing heatsink and see what's printed on GPU. G70 ones were made in very small batch. Most of these you can find now are G71.

It could perform a bit better in G5 due to wider AGP bus.

That G4 has a waterblock!! outstanding!

First time on Aqua's site? :) See his other builds. Cleanest Hacks in Mac cases I've ever seen. I can't decide if I like his G4s or Hacks more. I wish I had his skills... I have 2 kits for WC-ing MDD and still didn't mount them.

Yes, and he does have skills, in spades.

Now he needs a cooling block on the memory controller.

It'd most likely have to come from the same res though. I cant imagine there is enough space for the piping and the another res..maybe in the HDD bay area then move the drives under the optical enclosure??

It's absolutely flying by! It makes the FX5200 look like a toy & it's actually surprisingly quiet.

I thought this bench was a bit CPU dependent. I ran this bench on my Mac Pro with this card (560ti 448) and just beat you guys. I just ran this on the Hackintosh and scored 80,000
