eMac Video Upgrade

Posted by pudge on from the solitaire-works-fine-for-me-on-that-thing dept.

Bri3D writes "I've got an eMac G4/700, with a GeForce2 220 32MB video card. The video card is great for everyday use, but woefully slow for gaming. I looked for a method to replace the video card, and found these pages about eMac disassembly, but no information on if the video is upgradeable or even seperate from the motherboard. Does anyone have information on replacing the video card on an eMac?"

  1. Gaming experience? by MaxQuordlepleen · · Score: 4, Interesting

    OK, I get that the "can I upgrade video" question is dead, but I thought I'd ask another somewhat related question.

    Just what is gaming like on either eMac (the GeForce 2 and Radeon versions) ? I have a CRT iMac (600 Mhz G3 with the ATI Rage Pro) and I wonder if the upgrade would be worthwhile.. On the iMac, you can play Ghost Recon, Quake 3, Myth 2, with reasonable frame rates but UT (the original) is brutal and UT2K3 is a slide show.

    Anybody want to share their eMac gaming experiences?
