VIDEO CARD FOR A G400

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.gateway2000 (More info?)

Try a GeForceTI card, I heard those were nice and they're made for 2x slots.
I had a GeForce4 64mb running in a PII 333 Gateway no trouble. What's your
PSU? If it's a low one you might have to upgrade it when you get a higher
end card.

What about a ATI Radeon 8500 128Mb DDR AGP Video Card 2X/4X? That's the
best I've seen so far.

FWIW my Matrox G550 card has worked fine in the AGP slot in my G6 400 for a
year and a half now. And you can use two monitors with it.
