i just want to know.. where can i get AGP graphic card for the powermac g5? Is the AGP compatible with the same ones used in PC? how about drivers? I've read and checked in the kingston website states that RAM used in MACS is the KTA type and the PC using KVR types. Have anyone tried to use the KVR in their mac? how about problems? got any? I seriously want to know.. Plz help me.

KVR simply means kingston value ram

no, pc don't use KVR. KVR iusn't a type of ram to being with

both pc and mac uses the same type / config of ram and agp (for your case)

and as you have mentioned, driver might be a problem

KVR is Kingston Value RAM, which wasnt Apple tested or Apple Certified. You can buy and test it out on your mac. It will work most of the time, but, do prepare for some Kernal Panic time to time.

KTA are Kingstone Tested Apple RAM, meaning the RAM are "tested" to be work on Mac. If they dont, you have the rights to return for another peice till it works on your Mac. Also that's why it cost more.

Regarding the AGP, both PC and Mac uses the same card physically. But the BIOS/ Filmware are different. You should look for those agp that's specifically made for Mac. There's also ppl that flash the PC card firmware to work on Mac.

Where can I get KTA RAMs, and how much do they cost compared to KVRs?

Any Kingstone RAM dealer can order for you if they dont have it in store.
Price might be 20-50% more than KVR.

what is the model num of your powermac g5 i have some ori powermac ram not kingston but HYNIX or MICRON took out from the powermac cause my customer want to upgrade. only got 256mb and remember it works in pairs cannot put single 256mb example :

if you want 256mb only means 128mb x2 goes the same for 512mb 256mb x 2.

Darken Lemuria you owned a shop or worked at any apple shop? if buy apple stuff from you, should can get cheaper ah?
