Nvidia Geforce Mac Drivers
The GeForce FX 5200 is an AGP 8x card compatible with AGP 2x, 4x,and 8x slots. It's short enough and runs cool enough to work in thePower Mac G4 Cube, and it is the oldest,least powerful card with full Core Image and Core Animation support. Itwas the standard video card for the Power MacG5/1.6 GHz single and 1.8 GHz dual (2003), 1.8 GHz single, and 1.8GHz and 2.0 GHz dual (2004). It will work with all AGP PowerMacs.
Apple also used the GeForce 5200 GPU in the 17' iMac G4/1.25 GHz, 20' iMac G4/1.25 GHz, and the 2004 iMac G5.
Flashed AGP 8x video cards are not compatible with theMystic/Gigabit Ethernet, Digital Audio, Cube, Quicksilver, and MirrorDrive Door Power Mac G4 without modification. As explained by The Mac Elite, Appleuses pins 3 and 11 on the back of the card to power ADC monitors. Thesepins must be disabled or your Mac will not boot with the cardinstalled. Full details and instructions are on the Mac Elitewebsite.
Leopard (Mac OS X 10.5) boot times for Power Mac with the GeForce6200 fall into the 4-5 minute range, and it's suggested that youinstall Leopard with the Mac's original video card to avoid slowingdown the process.
Nvidia 6200 Drivers
The GeForce FX 5200 can be used on a Mac running OS 9, but with noacceleration and with limited resolution settings.
Based on recent pricing, we recommend the Radeon 9600 Pro, whcihalso has full Core Image and Core Animation support, over the GeForceFX 5200, especially for those running Leopard. The Radeon is both morepowerful and generally less expensive.
