The ATI Radeon AGP is an AGP 2x card. It was first offered as a retail card from ATI and later as an option on the January 2001 Digital Audio Power Mac G4. The card has built-in support for DVD playback. although Apple’s DVD Player software uses software decoding.
When it was introduced in late 2000, it was considered a world-class performer and a great upgrade for older AGP Macs by Inside Mac Games.
If you are using this video card with the Classic Mac OS, be sure to check ATI Drivers for Mac OS Classic. If you are using Mac OS X 10.3.6 or later, be sure to install the ATI Radeon Updater (Jan. 2005).
