Can the 9600 from a G5 be put in to a G4 and work?
I have a G5 2.0 Ghz(one of the earlier ones, with the 8GB RAM possibility) that came with a 9600 Radeon. And, I have a dual 800 G4.
The x800 ATI card sounds quite inviting for the G5, I thought I would buy it from OtherWorld Computing, although I have read that Buy.com may have it for 20$ less.
What I am wondering is if I can take the 9600 from the G5, with 8x AGP, and put it in to the G4, with its slower graphics, and have it work fine.
Since I would like to upgrade the G4 a bit, this would get two birds with one stone.

you have to be very exact.
I put a piece of scotch tape over the area of those first 11 pins and used a hobby knife to cut away everything but 3 & 11. Took me about 2 minutes.
