    I have an older G4 mac with an older video card. But the card cannot do dual display. So I bought one off ebay. The card works in that I have dual display, but when I launch FCP 4, it says it cannot recognize the AGP software/hardware. Either I got the wrong card, or do I need to reinstall FCP with new card now in place?

    The card I got is ATI Radeon 7000.

    Here are some specs:

    Radeon® 7000 Mac Edition delivers enhanced 3D/2D graphics performance for today’s demanding applications and is powered by the Radeon™ 7000 graphics processor and 64MB DDR memory.

    Im not very computer literate. Does the card need to be in the AGP slot? If so, which slot is that? I put the card in the only slot it would fit in. Im searching online for images, but so far no help.
    Thank you very much.
