Description

Up for auction is a Apple Macintosh compatible ATI Radeon 9700 Pro AGP graphics card with 128MB of 256-bit DDR memory. This is the little brother of the 9800 Pro - it is almost as powerful, but runs a lot cooler and consumes less power. This item has been tested and is guaranteed to arrive in working condition. It will work with any G4 or G5 Power Mac with an AGP slot, including the G4 Cube. To fit in the Cube, the VRM must be moved, and the metal header bracket/faceplate will need to be removed or modified. Ask about our trade-in credit for your old video card or machine.
