www.nvidia.com says that I can buy it at the Apple Store online, but they only list the Geforce 3, and that's more money than I'm willing to dish out. Where can I find a Geforce 2 and what kind of price should I expect?
Thanks

I may have one for sell, but I am looking for a TwinView.

You can't just use any GeForce2 with the Power Mac. You need to buy the GeForce flashed with Apple's ROM. Also, you need a 4X AGP Power Mac.
The ATi RADEON Mac Edition is a better buy/package, as much as it pains me to say that.

Hmmm... what kind of upgrade options do I have for my PCI 400 mhz G4? My Rage 128 just isn't cutting it anymore...
Thanks!

I would recommend a Radeon PCI upgrade. Roughly $200. Outpost has some decent bundles.

Yeah. In my opinion, ATi still makes better Mac products, anyway.

ATI Radeon PCI is just about your only option, at least at a reasonable price.

Haven't I seen the PCI Radeon for closer to $120? I know that deal-mac.com had some specials on the PCI version only (never the AGP). I'm in the market, too, and I can't drop $300-400 on a video card. I'm looking for a good deal on something better than the Rage 128 Pro that came in my G4/400 AGP machine. And it looks like Radeon is the only real alternative now that 3dfx has gone under.
What should a GeForce 2 retail for? I'd like to compare this to a Radeon 32 Mac edition.
