Anyway to get this card to work in my G4? I pulled this out of my G5 and upgraded to an X800XT in the G5. I wanted to know if this could possibly replace my ATI 9000 64 meg card in my G4. Is this card strictly AGP8X? Anyway to get it to work? Thanks for your help..
Got a tip for us?

Yes, you can. This article explains how.
Also, Other World Computing modifies these cards themselves and sells them ready to go for $119 ($109 for the MDD G4 version). I bought one. But since you already have the card you may want to try doing it yourself.
Just remember that after the modification the ADC port won't work anymore unless you rig up a power connector to it as shown in the article. It's really not an issue unless you have an ADC display or are using two displays.
