  Hi Rob,
  I may be wrong, but I think there is just one option, or at least I didn’t found no one else when I replace it the one of my 2004 G5. Is the “ATI Radeon 9600”; Mac edition.
  Improvement in the Cache: 256 vs 128 of the old one.
  This card comes with DVI connexions, so if your monitor uses the old one, you may need to buy an adapter.

  Hi Raphael
  Thanks for the post

  I have an NVidea geforce 6600 which is 256mb…do you think that this is the best this machine can go?
  cheers

  A non Intel Mac don’t gonna get more performance with a better GPU.
  All the new render-in-GPU software is to be ran in Intel.
