We need to know tons of things:

Resolutions he uses?
What kind of IQ he needs?
Does he need dual monitors?
OGL or D3D support primarily?
Which OS does he use?

lol - any the reason behind that is...................

in this case yes, if u are talking about gett'n a G4 4600 ultra card... but then i would say get an ATI 9700 PRO and forget both choices above.

Personally, i would rather get an ATI card with 128, then another comapny using ATi chip.

What kind of G4 card? 4200, 4400, 4600 ?

if u are gonna get a 4600, i say get the ATI 9700 pro instead.

Have u looked on each makers site for the specs of each card...
