Hi! Well I'm trying to see where I can get my hands on one of these rare cards...I'm looking for a OEM Cube GeForce 3 64MB card for my Cube. I've also heard of other's modding more recent video cards to work in Cubes, and I'd be interested in those as well. If you have any Cube-working video cards stronger than a GeForce 2 MX, post/PM/email me! Thanks!

Still looking...anyone have one?

Is this what your looking for kinda of pricey and the guy's feedback isn't as rosey as I would want it but he has a few Geforce 3
Ebay

I would probably buy one except for the price and a number of negative feedbacks on the seller.

Good Luck

I don't usually complain about the high price of OEM GF3 cards. They are worth a premium given their small form factor and that they are the fastest, easiest, GPU upgrade for the Cube. But $375 is truly ABSURD!!! For that price you'd be better off hacking a Radeon 8500 or 9000 into your Cube. Both are roughly the same speed as the GF3 (they're slightly faster above 1024*768, slightly slower at 1024*768 and lower). You get ADC+VGA with the 9000 or DVI+Svideo+VGA with the 8500. If you're a gamer and don't need ADC, the Radeon 8500 has the added bonus of TruForm.

For some good articles on hacking these cards into the Cube, check out www.cubeowner.com and www.xlr8yourmac.com. Also, be sure to look at Mike's highly detailed graphics card reviews and gaming benchmarks at xlr8yourmac in the video card section......joe

That *is* the exact card I'm looking for, and I saw that just yesterday; however, I'm not into spending that much money on it at all.

I've also read all the modding/hacking FAQs at CubeOwner about the Radeon cards you can fit in the Cube, however, I *need* ADC to push my 23" HD Display.

But to put a twist on it, I do have an Apple DVI-to-ADC converter, so, if anyone has a modded/flashed card w/ a DVI-out that WILL already fit in the Cube, I'd be very interested in that as well.
