I use my G5 every day for my graphic design business. As awesome as they may be, I am trying to put off the leap to an Intel-based Mac Pro for a while longer. I have decided to spend a few hundred bucks in upgrading the G5's graphics card, RAM and hard drive.

This is an easy install, both card and software (check the company's web site for the latest, as the CD that shipped had an earlier version) gave me no problems. I think it is an inexpensive way to get another year or two out of a solid machine.



1 out of 5 stars truth in advertising, I think not   March 19, 2008

Does this seller tell us that it is NEW? Yes. Was it NEW when I received it? NO. The plastic envelope which the item was shipped in and which contains the graphics card had obviously been sliced open. I checked for fingerprints on the installation CD's and could clearly see where there had been an attempt to wipe them clean. Does this seller claim that this product works with G-4's? Yes. It positively does not work or is compatible with my G-4. I am so chaffed by being drawn into this seller's false claim that it is "NEW". The box had worn corner's and other identifying marks which prove that is was not "NEW". It did not come with the usual cellophane wrapping over the box. Clue one. BEWARE OF THIS SELLER'S HONESTY IN ADVERTISING!!!

Only just got this home but decided to leave the job of installing until the confidence level was raised......2 weeks later I wonder what all the fuss was about. A couple of screws and Bob's your uncle. I needed to use the supplied adaptor since I only have a VGA monitor.....but one thing at a time. I hope to be able to make super DVD movies in my retirement.
Meanwhile,I may as well read the instructions! This link helps in finding appropriate Monitor.Adaptor.whatever!
