Mac nVidia GeForce 7800 GS 256MB AGP Video Card G4 G5

Description

Up for auction is a Apple Macintosh compatible nVidia GeForce 7800 GS AGP graphics card with 256MB of 256-bit GDDR3 memory. This item has been tested and is guaranteed to arrive in working condition. It will work with any 4x AGP G4 (Digital Audio, Quicksilver, Mirrored Drive Door, FireWire 800) or any G5 Power Mac with an AGP slot.
