Radeon for G4 Cube

[stephanec]

hi,
i have a G4 cube with an ati rage 128. I know at one point there was a radeon upgrade kit available from apple, but they dont seem to sell it anymore. What I was wondering is can I put any graphics card in my cube or does it have to be one specificaly made for it. Could i buy a radeon and put it in? would that be possible with a cube?

The cube is so small that it needs specialized graphics cards. But I believe you might be able to get the Cube Radeon card from outpost.com, or else from eBay or something like that. I'm just going to leave my cube at an ATI Rage 128 Pro until I get my new comp, and then, well, it's still gonna be an ATI Rage 128 Pro in my cube.

There have been reports that if you get a Radeon Mac edition that supports the Apple Display Connector, and switch the faceplate with the ATI Rage 128 Pro from the Cube, that it will actually fit. Same thing with a GeForce 2MX. But I would not recommend doing that. I ordered a Radeon online, and I was almost not able to send it back. Whew. I would've been out $200 or so.

Make sure you either get the cube Radeon card or make sure you know what you're doing and that other people have successfully attempted it.
