What is the best technical forum for MAC?

Thanks..

And in case any of you are wondering what my technical problem is:

I bought a 30 inch Cinema display and had to upgrade to a new video card ATI 9600 Pro to get the full resolution out of the monitor.

So we hooked everything up and got the full resolution but then, for some strange reason, surfing the internet became nearly impossible. I would click and the cpu would hang for 30 sec. to a min. before it downloaded the next site.
We thought it was the network and bandwidth issues and we trouble shot that problems only to learn that the network was running fine. So we put back in the original video card the CPU came with and VOILAA the cpu and web surfing was back to normal speed.

So for some reason, the new video card was slowing down my browsers. I have an older PowerMac G5 w/ a 1.6 ghz with 2.5 GB of Ram. Running OS X 10.4.8..

So we are going to try a new video card tomorrow but even the tech's at Mac were stumped.. Again, my internet is working again, at full speed, but on my old video card which means I only get 1280x800 instead of 2560x????
