    Do you really need OSX dual boot? If not then maybe it's a good idea to look for an X1950 AGP?

    Hello,

    thank you for the response.

    I have an AGP System.


    The Radeon from the ebay link, is this really compatible with the g5 ?
    I tought only mac versions will work.

    My current x800 is an original mac version with this additional pins for power


    would this card also work ?

    It will work under MorphOS (not under OS X), but without Mac-BIOS the G5 won't show any screen output until you reach the MorphOS desktop. Which means no access to OpenFirmware at bootup, no boot menu.

    You're talking about X800, or X1950? If you meant X800 then it's not true.

    I was talking about the Sapphire X1950 of the last ebay link. Had one of that for a short period of time on my G5. But I went back to a Mac-BIOS card 'cause of the OF boot prompt/menu.

    my 1950pro arrived today, put it in the g5 and it worked directly without problems.
    I only had to build a power adapter. No more graphic errors !

    No, that isn't right. That only works with R500 and above based cards (not with R400s like the X800XT).
    Glad to hear you went with the X1950. That is the same type of card Bigfoot developed the R500 driver with.

    Which is what I clarified in #10. ;-)
