Will this card (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...category=40158 ) work in my QuickSilver 2002 G4 (800mhz, came with a GeForce 4 MX)?

Thanks in advance.

I think it's a no since it was pulled from a G5.

:edit:

Unless this is confirmed it may be wrong, I heard Some discussion on this browsing the PowerMac Forums.

No. The Radeon 9600 from the G5 is an AGP Pro card. It will only work in the G5s.

If you're upgrading a G4, I'd suggest an Apple/nvidia GeForce 4 Ti or (though you'd still be CPU limited) a retail Radeon 9800 Pro.

Edit- or if you want a cheaper but still significant bump, find an Apple OEM GeForce 3 (much faster still than the GF4MX).
