I'm a bit confused. I'm looking for a possible replacement for my RADEON 9000 AGP graphics card. I want to aim for a card with at least 128MB ram, as I have 64 MB now. But everywher I look, I basically just stumble across ATI and nVidia cards that are labeled "G5 only". So, has anybody either...

Hi, I just got a G4 and am going to replace the video card... This is my first mac in 10 years so I was just wondering if there's anything tricky about replacing the card or if all it takes is taking the old one out and putting the new one in. The new card is OEM so I don't have a manual or...

Hi, I despise the icons that came with Photoshop CS and Illustrator CS - I want them to look nice, and to conform to the other icons on OS X. None of this 'file type pokes out of the left' nonsense. I found one replacement set http://www.macalicious.net/graphics-factory/icons/ but it's...
