CUBE GRAPHICS UPGRADE
I have a cube that I am committed to keeping. I want to upgrade my graphics card to maximize video editing capabilities. What's the best card? Any thoughts? GForce3, Radeon? I dont know the differences... <img src="embarrassed.gif" border="0"> <img src="graemlins/hmmm.gif" border="0" alt="[Hmmm]" />

As for what card you would want for video editing... last I checked a Rage 128 pro was just fine for video editing. You're not going to be able to fit a card into your Cube that allows video input for an external source.
Really, for a cube, you shouldn't have to upgrade at all.

Unless you want Quartz Extreme to work properly and didn't have the foresight to get a Cube with a Radeon card to start with...
Most Cube owners I know have jacked the graphics up: I've got a geForce 2MX in mine.
A good source of information is on <a href="http://www.cubeowner.com/faqs/videoupgrades.html" target="_blank">www.cubeowner.com</a>. Some cards are proving a tad tricky to source now, since everyone's been out and snapped them up, but they do surface every once in a while.

Well, he said he wanted to "maximize his video editing capabilities". Quartz Extreme is pretty much a toy. I mean, what valuable service does it provide to Final Cut Pro? The Genie effect is now faster? Woo.
But yeah, if you just want to trick out your cube...
