There is a spare ATI 9600 SE 128MB video card at my office and I wanted to see if it would work in my MDD dual gig G4. Would it work?

The box only shows Windows as the required operating system but I didn't know if it would still work or not.

thanks.

No. Has to be Mac-specific.

Only some cards can be easily flashed. And as far as I know, the 9600 isn't one of them.
