I have a apple G4 computer I need to get a replacement GPU for. can you run any AGP card in a mac or do you have to have certain cards, I know it had a 64mb rv350 in it previously.
 
You need a card with a Mac compatible ROM. Often you can flash a PC one. I'd recommend picking up a 9800 Pro on ebay. Make sure you know what model G4 you have and then see the flashin guide here:

Ok well this is more complicated then I had hoped. I don't feel like flashing a rom all I want is one that will drop in and work. How do I find out which one will work. Where to I get the model number of the computer, when where could I find a list of compatible cards.

I can't believe some of the prices people want for these ghetto old cards.
 
well on the subject is there any difference between mac DVI-VGA converters? Or can I just use any one that comes with any card.

Welcome to the wonderful world of Mac upgrades: 1/10 the selection and performance at 10x the price!

And you wonder why most people just buy all-in-one Macs. There's almost no point in having an expansion slot.
