Hi,

I just bought a used G5 dual 2,7ghz with a ati 9650 inside. I also have a G4 with a flashed 9800 pro inside. Is it usefull/possible to switch cards? Will the 9800 perform faster on the G5?
The 9800 is taped on the 8 and 11 pin so should work without the tape in a G5. But can I use the 9650 in the G4?

grtz Peter

I'm pretty sure you can use the 9800 in the G5, and yes there will be a big performance gain.

Dunno about the 9650 in the G4.

Well the 9800 works in the G5. But I've forgotten how noisy the thing is. Looks like I have to find a solution to it.
