THE QUeSTION IS: DO ANY OF THESE MORE MODERN PCI CARDS WORK INSIDE A POWERMAC G4? for either os X or os 9?
curious about this card as ive found that it exists but not found it references positively or negatively anywhere else
ATI Radeon HD2400 PRO *PCI* from december 2007/early 2008
RV610 GPU chip

http://www.gpureview.com/radeon-hd-2400-pro-pci-card-561.html
found this card its PCI not AGP
i wonder if this would work in a G4 as it has 525mhz core clock
6gb/s mem thruput!
forgot to mention its for sale for 8 dollars too lol

http://www.newegg.ca/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE&N=100007708%20600007853&IsNodeId=1&name=PCI
they still sell this 6200 pci card!! even to this day..
other models still for sale **IN PCI FORMAT** (not pci-express):
quick look at some facts of the other "PCI" cards for sale on newegg:

if these Fx5200, + 6200 PCI cards are known to work in powermac g4's for mac osx
