Pimping my G5

My 1.6 is finally getting the tricking out it needs. I have 1.5gb RAM and an additional 200gb HD now, but i'm looking for a decent graphics card. Any reqs? Would like 2 DVIs, but in no way need dual link (wish I did).
 
Well then your choice would have to be the Nvidia 6800. Not sure if you G5 is compatabe with the new 9850 though.
 
Happy to read someone else out there w/ a 1.6 PMG5. I love mine, it runs Adobe and Macromedia apps great and powers my 17" studio just fine. Not to mention, no real issues with Tiger on this either.

I too have the same specs with RAM, HD. The graphics cards seems suffice and I am a designer, but let me know when you upgrade or find a decent card boost...!

Cheers.
 
A teaser thread title like that, and nothing about sending your poor G5 out onto the street to earn a living for you. 🙁
 
The X800 is king of the block at this point. You certainly will be pimpin' your ride with that bad boy.
 
just put some gold & chrome pieces on it, as said some lights... lower the suspension 😛 haha have some 7" monitors built-in (yes we have MTV Pimp my ride here too, its sooooo funny, with all those XBox-PS2-...monitor ****)
I'm sorry I assumed you meant pimping in that direction...

otherwise: expand expand expand, get some faster/bigger drives, more ram... and I guess you'll be all good to go...

;-)
