Hi everyone. As a long time Mac user I just came into possession of a $50 dual 1.3 ghz G4 Xserve. Luckily I was also able to track down a 4x AGP raiser, but that leaves me with an important question; What AGP cards work with an Xserve G4 with a 4x AGP slot?

Thus far it seems that the 9600 and 9800 both work on a Powermac G4, but neither lists it specifically.

Currently I have a 9200 PCI but it doesn't support Core Image or even Quartz Extreme, so I need something decent in AGP that will work. Any suggestions friends?

I know this is a really old post., bit I've been looking into the same thing. Did you ever get this figured out? I can't find the riser card, so I ordered an AGP extension cable, but 10.3, 10.4, and 10.5 lock up just before / while loading the loading screen. Verbose mode doesn't tell me much, as everything is just right up until the GUI loads.
