After market card...
Authored by: robg on May 06, '02 06:51:03PM

Hmm, might have to go shopping for an NVidia or ATI card for my aging G4/350 at work. A graphics upgrade would keep it viable for a while longer! ;-)

After market card...
Authored by: Pat_Gilmour on May 07, '02 05:08:44AM

Yeah, but what if you use a Powerbook?
I have a last generation G3 Firewire PB (Pismo, I think it was called) 400mHz that uses an ATI (AGP) Rage M3p-parent card. Will this mean I won't see any GUI impovements?
This machine in 1 year and 4 months old.If is can't run latest software I will feel it wasn't that good an investment.

AGP *2x*

At least one of the keynote reports I read specifically mentioned that you would need a 32 MB card and AGP 2x. So that would probably leave both you and the previous poster (G4/350 has AGP 1x, AFAIK) out in the cold (& slow). Me as well with my PCI B&W rev.1 G3. Just as long as it's not required for the 10.(release-to-be-named-later) upgrade, I can deal with it. :)

I would be surprised if we didn't see some improvements anyway, but it won't be hardware accelerated.
