I purchased a G4 off ebay a few years ago, it's suited me well, no complaints.
Problem I have is, I still can't figure out the details about the current graphics card I have.
System profiler identifies it as an ATY, Rage128, with 16 mb of VRAM.
Also, the Machine model is identified as a Power Mac G3 (PCI graphics)
the processer itself is a PowerPC G4 (2.6), essentially a 400mhz processor.
The tower this is in looks like the original G4 tower, light gray/dark grey/plastic case.
Anyway, I opened it up, and I noticed that there are 4 expansion slots in the back. The slot that the graphics card fits in is smaller then the other 3, so I am a bit confused as to why that's the case.
A friend told me over the phone, that it means it's not a PCI card but an AGP, but he couldn't really say without looking at it.
The point is, that I would like to upgrade the card, as I can't really afford a new mac at this point.
Any suggestions? is this PCI or AGP? I would like to run some higher end video games, such as World of Warcraft, I think that's possible, but I here that PCI limits me.
