I have a late 2005 G5 with a 6600 256mb graphics card that I think is on its death bed. I have another G5, an early 2005 with an ATI radion 9600 card. Can I put the ATI in another slot in my late 2005 and run two graphics cards? Thanks!

What makes you think the video card is failing?
I'm not getting artifacts on the screen, but randomly it freezes with black text, almost like a kernel panic but no restart this Mac screen, just random black text top to bottom, and the fans go full blast, forcing me to pull the plug. Only happens when a monitor is connected, since it runs headless most of the time.

So if I wanted to add a second card to this PCIe G5, can it be one just like the 6600, just in slot two? Are all 4 slots PCIe?

These are your choices for the gfx cards, 6600 and 6600 LE, ATI X1900, GeForce 7800GT/GTX and Quadro FX4500. Best if it is on slot 1 x16 pcie.
