Anyone know how or where I can find a good deal on an old PCI video card such as a Rage 128? Ebay seems to have them as high as new PC Agp GeForce 4's =). Or even better anyone have one for sale? I want to upgrade my Rage IIC (I think) on my Powermac 6500 (it's my main computer, pretty old huh? =).

    Honestly you won't get any performance boost on your 6500 even you put a kick-ass video card in cause the CPU just can't keep up.

    I didn't need a kick-ass video card, just something with maybe 8MB VRAM. There's a 275Mhz 603e in there, altho everyone else would say it's butt-slow, I think it's pretty good, and it'll run games like Pod Racer and Quake II and Bugdom no problem if only I had a slightly better video card (yes, I've tried them, and they do indeed run with very low-res)
