Title: PCI-E on G3, G4 and AGP G5
Post by: Protools5LEGuy on April 12, 2014, 08:45:29 PM

Is this a posible backdoor?
This adapter seems like a pci-pci express bridge

Imagine a Nvidia 6600 on a G3 with this adapter, even with a DVI not accesible http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Mac-Geforce-6600-256mb-PCIe-Video-Card-For-Apple-PowerMac-G5-Late-2005-/261163711428?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3cce91fbc4 (http://www.ebay.com/itm/GENUINE-Mac-Geforce-6600-256mb-PCIe-Video-Card-For-Apple-PowerMac-G5-Late-2005-/261163711428?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item3cce91fbc4)
