Would a Geforce 4Ti card fit in a G5?

Reason I ask is that the length of the card is much longer than a standard video card.



Also, does an Airport Extreme card fit inside the latest G4 Powermacs, or only the standard Airport Card.

    From Apple's own site you can see that the G5 has 3 Full-Length PCI cards slots and the AGP card slot is in the same area, which means it has enough space.But the questions is, is there enough cooling space to put the GeForce4 Ti card in there? If you plan on adding any other cards, I am not sure, but maybe.



    Also if you looked at the tech specs on Apple's site you would see that the PowerMac G4 can only have the Airport card installed. Not the AirPort Extreme.

    AGP cards, like PCI cards, can be up to 12" long. It might be longer than a typical video card, but it's within the standard size.

    The last 4" or so is dead space anyway, just to make it so that it doesn't dislodge during shipping. You could always just crack it off.
