That machine only has the older PCI slots. You would need a newer machine with PCIe or PCI-X slots.

I have either a PCIe or PCIx system because ui have a caldigit drive system hooked up to it and that uses a sata pcie or pcix card, but i dont want the card to be a slave to that system i want to be able to put it into a new mac pro also.
any suggestions would be great -
The dual 1gb G4 has PCI slots:

I have a Decklink SP in my G4 Dual 1.42 and it works fine. I can even monitor HD material through it to my broadcast monitor. You’ll have to get a PCIe card when you upgrade to a Macpro. The only way to upgrade your IO from a G4 to a Macpro (without an expansion chassis) is to go with firewire.
