Any Mac freaks out there I mean this in the nicest possible way as I am one too. I have the above machine that has had its Video card die on me and I can't find one that will work in it. I know that it is a 2x card and from what I have found PC cards won't work without flashing its bios. If I can get a replacement at a reasonable price at a retailer that anyone knows of I would appreciate it or if someone has one that is not in use maybe we could talk business

The best thing for that would be an ATI Radeon 9200 "Mac Edition".
I'm staggered you still have this old beastie, I parted with my B&W G3/350 long ago.

You can find them still on Amazon, about $US50.

BTW I got as far as upgrading my G3 with a new screen (21" flat Diamondtron), maxxed the RAM, 1.1GHz CPU from Sonnet, 128GB HDD, the Radeon, a USB2 card and WiFi card... then a year later replaced it with a 1.5GHZ G4 Mac Mini that ran rings around ol' faithful.

Now using a C2D 24" iMac. Very sweet.

Thanks for that will look out for the Graphics card. I am a MAC tragic that can't afford to get anything newer and it runs Tiger really well so I am not that far behind with the OS version only leopard and snowleopard since tiger. I maxed out the ram to 1GIG but still have the original Processor just need the Graphics card to start using it again.
