For AMD Radeon™ Graphics, AMD Radeon Pro Graphics, and AMD Processors with Radeon Graphics Only. For use with systems running Microsoft® Windows® 7 or 10 AND equipped with AMD Radeon™ graphics, AMD Radeon Pro graphics, or AMD processors with Radeon graphics. Download and run directly onto the system you want to update. I have a G4 500MHz (sawtooth) Mac that came originally with ATI Rage 128 Pro graphic card. I thought that I could get my Apple Cinema 20' Display to work connecting it to the ADC port on the 9000 Pro. But, I was disappointed to find that it did not work. From the Manufacturer With 128MB DDR RAM, flexible dual display support including ADC for Apple flat panels, Mac OS X compatibility, the RADEON 9000 PRO MAC EDITION is the ground-breaking graphics card that will revolutionize the way you see the visual experience. The Radeon 9800 Pro cards had an average 13% advantage over the Radeon 9600 Pro. If you have a G5 Power Mac with the CTO Radeon 9800 Pro (OEM), the Special Edition will be 6% faster - unless you run with FSAA enabled - in which case it is 23% faster.
