But as you will see below, the new "compromise" 9800 Pro runs just as fast as the old "G5 only" 9800 Pro: Since it's been announced, G5 owners have emailed me their concerned about the 2X/4X rating, fearing they will be giving up some speed without an 8X rating. It's targeted as a mid range graphics card with enough memory to handle any Core Image and OpenGL task you throw at it. They replaced them with an "all for one and one for all" card: the Radeon 9800 Pro Mac (2X/4X AGP, 256MB), compatible with all AGP G4 and G5 Power Macs. ATI has discontinued the "G5 only" Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition (8X AGP, 256MB) and the "works on anything" Radeon 9800 Pro Mac Edition (2X/4X AGP, 128MB).
