I replaced my G5 stock Nvidia card with a Radion card. I would like to sell my Nvidia card but I wonder if it will work in any AGP slot Mac?

No. I don't believe it'll work.

By no means am I a hardware expert but wouldn't an 8x AGP card also be 4x compatible?

Apple says "Requires a G5" but we've heard that before.

I'm not sure about this but didn't Apple change the slot for the ADC ports again with the G5? That would mean that the card (in case it fits) might work yet the ADC ports will not work.

But like I said, I ain't sure 'bout this.
