Graphics Card for Aperture

[skippy64]

What graphics card for a G5 1.8Dual (1.5gb of Ram) has anybody upgraded to so that they can use Aperture. I'm thinking about the ATI RADEON 9600PRO but if anyone has other suggestions it would be appreciated. Just had a demo today at local Apple store and I've decided to take the plunge now as I can quite happily integrate it into my workflow now ahead of any major updates.

One of the following graphics cards:
ATI Radeon x600 Pro or x600 XT
ATI Radeon X800 XT Mac Edition
ATI Radeon X850 XT
ATI Radeon 9800 XT or 9800 Pro
ATI Radeon 9700 Pro
ATI Radeon 9600, 9600 XT, 9600 Pro, or 9650
ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 or 9600
NVIDIA GeForce 6600 LE or 6600
NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL or 6800 GT DDL
NVIDIA GeForce 7800 GT
NVIDIA Quadro FX 4500

I still say something with a bit more power then the Radeon 9600 Pro

Get the X800 XT; you'll be disappointed with much else.

Many thanks for the link, I'm in the UK so I think I'm best sourcing it from a UK supplier.

Sorry, I did not take that into consideration.
