PCI card question
If I got a new card for my AGP slot in my Dual 500 G4
would it be possibly to take the card from that slot and to put it into a PCI slot?
Do PCI slots accept the same cards that work in AGP slots?
AND: are nVidia Geforce 3 64mb -not MX cards any good or worth getting?
better than my Rage 128 pro . . . . I have heard that they are super kickbutt . . .

Are you getting the GeForce3 card for free? As many PowerMac G4 computers came with a GeForce4. The Rage 128 Pro is good, but the GeForce is a mild step up, IMHO.
If you're going to buy a card, buy the best ATI Radeon AGP-based you can afford.
i already have a card . . . my Rage 128
I need another card, for my other monitor, that works with Panther. So it will go in my PCI slot.
as for the Geforce 3 . . . there is one on eBay I thought I might get . . . . but now I will look for a PCI card instead.
Geforce 3+ line is considerably better than the Rage 128 though, not a mild step up. I believe the Rage 128s were overtaken by the Geforce 1s, to give you an idea.
