What of these video cards are compatible with MacOSX? And what the best
choice? I would to use the Quartz Extreme engine but i don't know how
the performance accelleration. If this "acceleration" is about 2% i
will not buy a new video card and i will wait for a new computer
(around 2 years)... or i will buy more ram....
Is my computer too old for the next releases of MacOSX ?
None of those cards will work in your Mac. The reason is simply that
they are the PC versions of the card, and are not Mac-compatible. If
you have AGP (sawtooth), then I highly recommend that you get a Radeon
9000 Pro Mac Edition ($169). Note the "Mac Edition." The PC version of
this card is faster than the GeForce FX 5200 non-ultra and the GeForce
4MX440. I would definitely NOT give up on your current Mac. That is a
highly-upgradable machine. Hope this helps.
