How to make a 96/9800 pro work in a sawtooth tower
Hey people, here's the dilemma:
I just upgraded my 350Mhz G4 sawtooth to a 1.4Ghz 7455B Mercury extreme G4 from OWC. Everything runs great (games, OS, all apps etc), however I would really really like to put in a graphics card that is capable of pixel shaders... The only ones I know are available or can be modified for my G4 are the 9600 and 9800 pro. Problem is I only have a 208Watt Power supply. As for the 2X AGP bottleneck, I don't really care, as long as I have those pixel shaders!
Besides buying a G5 tower, I do not have the funds available to fund such an expensive affair. Can anyone give me some advice? Thanks!
