Hi
i am hoping to get some suggestions for a second video card for my desktop mac it is an older mac 867 1.25GB RAM and is juuust fast enough for GEM stuff.
It has two video outs one for a cinema display and one that is a VGA I already tried the VGA extractor dongle and it did not work, so i am hoping for some guidance on a cheap second video card that i can use for home stuff.

A PCI card will be unacceptable for GEM or anything graphics intensive. I recently got an AGP 9200 with DVI, VGA and S-video off eBay for $88, and put it in an identical Mac. It runs fairly well using one or two DV/SD streams or a few 320x240. It doesn't do fragment shaders though - an extra $100 will get you an ATI that will.
