Upgrading video card for 1st generation PowerMac G5

I just told somebody on here to go to www.macsales.com to check what kind of upgrades you can do to their computer and I just did the same for mine. I only got 2 choices. The ATI Radeon 9600 or 9200. The card that is currently in my computer is a Nvidia GeForce 5200. Does Nvidia not make cards for my computer anymore? What would happen if I put the Geforce 8800GT card that comes standard with the new Macbook Pro's?

I am in need of a new card so I can upgrade to FCP6 as well as add some new plug-ins to my system.


Thanks!
 
shooter,

I don't know if you are aware of http://everymac.com, but they not only have good info on all macs, but also provide a section that can guide you on upgrades that are possible. It's definitley worth a look.
