I found a GeForce 4 card for Mac that has both a VGA and an ADC input. It says taht it only works in a AGP 4x slot, and I know that my Cube only has 2x. Will it still work?

No. The GF4 is physcially too large to fit inside the Cube. Ditto the GF4MX. Your best option is to do what I did - try to locate an Apple GF3. It's slower than the GF4 but faster than the GF4MX. My Cube / GF3 setup has been working great for the 2 months - since I installed the GF3. regards..........joe

ill any 3rd party GeForce3 cards work in the Cube? I'm looking for one and the Mac version isn't exactly in high availability. I see that some of the PC cards have DVI. I'm not aware if they will fit and/or be compatible with OS X. Anyone?

Well, I guess some will.

A better question would be, does anyone know if any 3rd party GeForce3 cards fit into a Cube? I see that LeadTech and PowerColor make cards with DVI...
