Also this mac pro has a quadro in it, all of them did. Which is the best card to slap in these?
Hmmm.. for what use? Mac Pros aren't supported by any amigaish operating system.
I've read the x800 xt is, but That seems awful low to watch videos!
"Low to watch videos", what do you mean? Videos don't exactly require that much from a graphics card... or maybe if you mean hardware decoding capabilities, but none of amigaish systems support those. So in practise it doesn't matter which card you have.. until it supports overlay which makes video scaling fast. So, for G5 machines something like Radeon 9600 is still as fine as the more newer/powerful cards. It's more like if you want 3D stuff run faster with expense of power consumption, then you might consider X800XT etc.
