Hexegon and Mac G4 issues -Help

Ok I've downloaded Hexegon 2 and nothing works - can't even put a cube in the working space. So far so good.

Now the specs say a G5 is recommended I use a G4 Dual - I don't it seems have a powerful enough graphics card according to the minimum spec .

Is there anyone out there using a G4 that's actually getting Hexegon 2 to work with a more powerful card.

In other words the thought of updating my graphics card just to find other bugs is not a prospect I relish as is the thought of a new card causing other conflicts with the existing software I run.

I'd be grateful for any feedback.

---------------------------------------------
Minimum system requirement:
Mac OS X 10.2 or later
Power Macintosh G4 1.0 GHz CPU
512 MB System RAM
128 Mb Video RAM graphic board
Recent series OpenGL graphic board with 128 MB Video RAM (NVidia FX 5xxx / Quadro, ATI 9xxx or “x” series, etc.)
500 MB free hard drive space

Recommended system:
Mac OS X 10.2 or later
Power Macintosh G5 1.8+ GHz CPU
1 GB+ System RAM
256+ Mb Video RAM graphic board
Latest series OpenGL graphic board with 256+ MB Video RAM (NVidia FX 5xxx / Quadro, ATI 9xxx or “x” series, etc.)

500 MB free hard drive space

I use a G4 867 Mhz, with 869 Mb of ram and a ATI Radeon 9000 pro 128 MB.
I can use Hex 2, but it appear buggy... I hope in the 2.1 version.

If anyone could recommend an Nvidia card for the Quicksilver dual 876 I'd be extremely grateful - ATI cards seem to have to many known issues especially with Lightwave.

I can't seem to find a uk supplier with a good range?

psaldari many thanks for the feedback.
Your comment is spot on.
