video upgrade

(1/3) > >>

choasforages:
now that i own a 9500, what would be the best upgrade route, radeon, or geforce./*yes, im a mac newbie*/

cocoamix:
No GeForce for that Mac. No AGP. You're limited to PCI cards, the best being a Radeon.
Should be more than enough for a computer that old.

rtgwbmsr:
A Proc. upgrade wouldn't kill you (or your wallet)

Conveniently, both the video card and the processor upgrades are all on one page!
Vid Card & Proc Upgrades

Caution: They list AGP cards on there. They will not work in that Mac - The 9500 has no AGP slot! Trust me!

After looking at the specs of that machine, you may want to consider a hard drive upgrade before a video card...depending on what you plan on doing with the thing.

You can buy GeForece 2 PCI cards, and Radeon 7000 PCI cards from MacMall pretty cheep. I would recomend the ATI because it has video in/out. Thrugh S-video that is. Now adays you can do video in thrugh firewire if that's what you need.
