    Will this work ?

    "Apple Mac G4 ATi Radeon 9000 64MB AGP Graphics Card"

    I have a PowerMac G4 466Mhz which currently has an ATi Rage 16Mb. I believe my PowerMac is the Digital Audio version.

    Installed is Tiger and MorphOS 2.6
    Power Mac G4 1Ghz (Sonnet Encore) 640Mb, ATi Radeon 9000 Pro, USB 2.0
    OS: MorphOS 2.6 (Registered) , Mac OS X Tiger 10.4.11

    That should work fine according to the DA specs.

    Yes, the Digital Audio Powermacs ought to be able to handle that card (and pretty much all other supported cards). Its not a bad system

    That's the first card I had in my Quicksilver before I replaced it with a 9200. Since the MorphOS driver for the Rage128 doesn't support 3D, it should be a big improvement.

    I have the same card in my PowerMac "GigaBit Ethernet" 2 x 500 MHz. Works without any problems.

    I've also got this card in my PowerMac Gigabit, works without problems together with the original 400Mhz card and with an 1Ghz CPU card.
