Hey guys,
I am looking at upgrading my G4 350 a little bit. I have a quick question about video cards. I am interested in getting an ATI Radeon 9200 SE 128MB DDR PCI card ( http://www.komusa.com/giatira92se1.html ) but the said website only mentions PC compatiblity. I don't see why it wouldn't work in my Mac, but I thought I'd ask anyways before ordering it. So, obvisously, my question is, will this card work in my machine?

Also, here are the other upgrades I am looking at purchasing:

Mitsumi 54x/32x/54x CD-RW drive
Maxtor 80.0GB Hard Drive - 7200 RPM, Ultra ATA/133 2MB

This comes to around-about $200.00, which is the max I am willing to spend at the moment. How do you think these components would fair in my near-stock machine? Oh yeah, I have 768MB of RAM in the system at the moment.

Let me know what you guys think and thanks in advance

Niq

I'm almost positive that only specified Mac compatible video cards will work in Macs, unless they have been flashed on a PC.

And you're getting all those upgrades for $200??

Oh man, I forgot about flashing and all that good stuff

I found all the stuff pretty cheap through Price Watch and what not, so that's how I managed to find everything for around $200.00 total.
