B&W G3 Video Card Upgrade?
Folks,
Been doing some work here on my old Blue n' White G3. It's a 450 MHz with the Rev. 2 motherboard, a new 80GB drive, and 768MB RAM. Now, I just installed OSX.1.5 and i'd like a little more performance from the video subsystem (it has a Rage 128).
Different sites have different info on what AGP cards can work in a G3. Has anybody here upgraded? I'd like something that will work with Quartz Extreme (GF2MX,3,4 or Radeon AGP). What are my options? Do I need to buy a Mac version of a card for it to work properly?

Radeon Mac Edition PCI. The original one. Its not manufactured anymore, but it has a T & L engine. It only supports one display.
looks like Quartz Extreme is out of the running... but the radeon PCI will do nicely, as i have a spare 19" monitor here (again, from the PC) that will give me a metric s***load of desktop space with the 19" already hooked up to this thing.
thanks folks.
