    Motion won’t install cause I don’t have an upgraded video card. I can’t find one at any stores in Denver. Any ideas on what to do or where to find one?

    It also won’t work if the original G4 was not at least 867 MHz. AT least that was what Motion 1.0 needed.

    There are now two video cards that can allow Motion. ATI has a new 9600 video card that can work in either a PC or MAC and has 256 MB Vram. It works in a 4x or 8x AGP slot, so it can be used in a G4.

    The only other card that originally worked with Motion on a G4 (which I have) is the ATI 9800 Radeon Pro Mac Edition 4x AGP card with 128 MB Vram.

    Either of these cards are either DVI-VGA or dual DVI outputs, so if you have an Apple ADC monitor, you will need to add their DVI-ADC converter.
