I have a Dual G5 1.8 Powermac with what I think is a bad Geforce 5200 card. Sometimes it will not boot and if I pull out and reseat the video card it will then boot again.

Can I use ANY MAC AGP card? How about PCi cards? Or do I have to use a Geforce 5200? I just want to get it up and running again at a reasonable minimum of cost.
 
Thanks very much EDCC. As strange as it sounds, I don't know a lot about Macs but I can't seem to find many that know more than me. I looked over the AGP and my Mac card has a LOT more connector than any other AGP card I've seen. The AGP card available on that site doesn't support the Dual G5s although it came up in their search for dual G5 video cards. I think PCI will be the easiest to deal with and find.

BTW, I translated your handle just to be sure. Seeing Babelfish display "the devil with poop" gave me a good laugh.


If anyone has any more tips, or a decent card for sale, lemme know.Thanks
