I eventually find a PC version of the Geforce 4 Ti 4600 by PNY for $200 on EBay. Sure, there are stores that claim to have them in stock, but in reality, they don’t have them. However, finding a Ti 4600 was difficult.
However, the performance was disappointing since it’s simply a cut down version of a Radeon 8500. Initally, I flashed a PC version of the ATi Radeon 9000 Pro, which was easy.

I upgraded it with dual 1 GHz PowerPC G4 processor, up the RAM to 2 GB, add 2 SSDs connected to a Firmtek Serialtek 1v4 SATA to PCI-X card, an Adaptec USB2 Connect PCI card, M-Audio Firewire Audiophile audio interface, and an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 128 MB video card. It used to feature a 1.25 GHz single PowerPC G4 processor, Radeon 9000 Pro 64 MB, 1.75 GB of RAM, and 80 GB hard drive. I tracked down a PowerMac G4 Mirror Door 2003 model and decided to use that as the base. Yes, the fastest video card that supports Mac OS 9, SSDs, maxed out RAM, and quality sound. With that, I decided to get a PowerMac G4 and deck it out with upgrades.
