    I have a spare Radeon 9650 and wanted to know if it's possible to use it in a Power Mac G4. I have quite a few G4s and just want to see if I can use it in one of them.

    It may work in AGP 4X G4's like the MDD, Quicksilver, and Digital Audio. Can you post a picture of the card?

    That's an OEM G5 ATI 9650. It should work in any of the above mentioned AGP 4X G4's with pins 3 and 11 taped off.
