In case you get replies off list, I am also interested in the answer to
this question. I am working on acquiring a PowerMac11,2 now to go with
the PowerMac7,2 I was given recently. I bought a Radeon 9650 Pro for the
PowerMac7,2 since it has an NVIDIA FX 5200 but have not had a chance to
get it up and running yet. I would suspect that the X1900 GT would work
fine and I will purchase one and test even if no one can confirm.
