Graphics card for Motion.	Can't Post

Hi all,

Using a bit more of motion and I notice that when the project builds up it starts to run really slowly. Reading through some newsgroups, they mention upgrading the graphics card. Anyway, my system spec is the following:
Dual 1.8 GHz PowerPC G5 with 3.5 GB DDR SDRAM. The graphics card is the GeForce FX5200 with 64MB VRAM.
Anyone out there got any ideas as to what I should upgrade to. Some mention the ATI 9800 Mac edition, but it seems hard to get.

Thanks.
Sean.

The x800 for the G5 is going to be your best bet. I think Ati was selling them directly as a matter of fact for the best.
