I was worried I wouldn't be able to get a (new) replacement graphics card for an older (PowerPC - non Intel) Mac - spoke to a very helpful guy at macupgrades.co.uk and got one sent over v quickly. Good as new! I'm quite pleased really as it forced me to get a second Wacom tablet and finally install a load of software on the other G5, so now I have 2 machines up to speed. All ready for the next thing to break! Good luck to you both for 2009! Hi Leon – yes it’s a bit upsetting watching your trusty machine become pretty much unusable over the space of a few weeks.
