I was wondering can you put two Ati X1600 Pro Hdmi graphics in a powermac g5 and get decent graphics? Also can u use one X1600 pro hdmi and another pro x1600 in crossfire or is the powermac not compatible. Cheers.

No! None of those video cards will work in a PowerMac G5, and they certainly won't work in crossfire mode.

The PCIe PowerMacs are the niche of the niche... I can't imagine Sapphire would be interested in the market.
