[woopud]

I'm up for a new video card, need one that plays nice in Ubuntu too, what do you guys recommend ? Like to stay under $100.

Radeon 9500-9800, either Mac Edition or flashed with a Mac ROM. You'll be able to run all current OS X technologies with one of those. Avoid AGP cards for G5 machines as they use an AGP Pro slot.

 

[woopud]

These are PCI cards ?

Bert

 

[JRL]

AGP should be compatible with PCI.

 

[woopud]

Also, what's a good online store to find one ?

AGP should be compatible with PCI.

What? No it's not.

AGP should be compatible with PCI.

Who told you that? :O

 

[Bunsen]

Unless you're looking to add a second video card, you need an AGP card for a Quicksilver

 

[JRL]

Oh, whoops. :-x

Oh, you need a PCI card for a dual monitor setup? The best you'll do with PCI is probably a Radeon 9200 or if you can find a flashed nVidia FX5x00 or 6200. The 9500-9800 are AGP which will only work in an AGP slot, which the Quicksilver has one of.

No, I'm not looking for a dual monitor setup, just need to replace my current video card.
