Title: Help! Whats the difference, ATI 9800PRO mac edition or special edition!
Post by: BFG on September 06, 2004, 07:03:43 pm
OK ive had enough. I need a new graphics card. I remember harvey ( i think ) asking /talking about this a while back but i can't find the thread or remember what was said.

So i am going to splash out, oh yes on the daddy Radeo ATI 9800PRO Card... Now What im slightly confused by (seconds before i click the 'order' button) is is there any difference between the  following:

RADION ATI 9800PRO MAC EDITION

RADION ATI 9800PRO MAC SPECIAL EDITION

Help! The ATI site is about as helpfull as a dog humping my chair leg and its bad enough that i can save about $150 by just buying it in the US and shipping it to the UK!

so um.. Help?!

Oh fucky doo... Nope they are fine in G4 (there is a G5 Edition too )

Just noticed... Normal mac edition has 128MB
                  ....Special mac edition has 256MB


(says the card can go in any G4 AGPx2 or x4 Slot! :)

so now i got to decide...
