software. See the Read Me for details."

Below the Read Me is my hardware config.

No stock PowerMac G4 comes with a 1.8GHz CPU - is this a CPU upgrade card?

Here's the problem: the Rage Pro isn't even remotely qualified.

Yes. May have been foolish but i spent $300 on a G-Celerator for
graphics purposes, rather than buy a g5. I only spent about $300
buying the agp-g4 so it didnt seem like such a bad idea... at the time
