Hi all...

I've been playing around with my Cube recently and have realized that it needs some boosting for it to be fun in Panther. I was thinking of the easiest upgrade, a video card. Will either of these fit the Cube (size wise)? I can easily handle the face plate switch, I'm just worried about the physical length of the card.

1. NVidia GeForce4 MX 32MB AGP

2. ATI Technologies RADEON 9000 PRO MAC EDITION

I'd also be interested in which card is better as I don't know much about video cards. Price difference is not a big matter but obviously, if the Ati card doesn't offer anything more than the nVidia the latter would be a nicer option.

Thanks a lot for your help.

You need special cards that fit the G4.
