ATI Radeon X600 PCI-e x16 in Power Mac G5 DP 1.8?

I wanted to know if this video card would work in my G5:

If so, I would like to upgrade my measly 64 MB card... would that help with Photoshop and such?

No it won't, you need a Mac specific graphics card.

The other thing of course is that the G5 DP 1.8 has an AGP graphics card, not a PCI-e card. A PCI-e card won't fit or work in an AGP slot.

Your options for a G5 DP 1.8 is a Radeon X800 Mac Edition (pretty much discontinued by ATI), or one of the OEM cards - Geforce 6800 Ultra (or GT) Mac version or X850XT Mac version.
