I have a dual 1.25 G4 MDD. Currently running on a radeon 9000 and its time to upgrade, I would like to get the 9800 but there are two models, one in 128mb and the other 256mb... So I obviously want the best one, but not sure if its just for the G5...

If you really want to compare speed tests on either card, a great resource is Barefeats.com. They have comparisons on both cards.

Satcomer - thanks for the link. What I cant seem to be able to figure out is whether that card is compatible with my system...

I live in the USA so I am not sure if you can buy at this site. However you will soon will be able to figure out compatibility.

However, the link you posted is a Mac edition card. Just be sure the card you buy says Mac edition.

The card you linked to, if you read the full description, it says it's

Key Features Interface AGP 8x
Compatibility Mac

I read the details and I know that its AGP 8x. What I couldnt find out is what my G4 is...

I went into system profiler and there is no mention of the AGP version there... I had to goto apples site and download the pdf that says it AGP 4x...

So I guess I will only be able to use the 128mb radeon 9000 in my mac then...

on a side note, I went into the apple store - in regent street London, and they dont sell spererate graphics cards... oohhh... not very handy...
