Unfortunately, FG is pretty graphics-intensive and needs a recent-ish card to run well. (I've heard of it running okay on TNT class cards).
I'd guess that the 8meg card would struggle with the texture sizes in FG too - some of them being fairly large.
If you ask around here as to what the lowest spec card that runs FG resonably is, hopefully you can find one to buy second hand :)
If the Mac version uses command line args like the Linux version, you could run it (from the CLI) with --geometry=320x200 and see if that gets everything loaded (in a small window).
I have been fortunate to be able to upgrade my computers around here, so the weakest card I have to test on is a 64Mb nvidia card. I would recommend a card with at least 32Mb of video ram, but 64 or 128 (or more) if you can get it. I don't know if you can just buy and swap video cards on the mac platform like you can on the pc platform, but between bargin basement retailers and ebay, you ought to be able to get a low end 64Mb nvidia (or ati) card really cheap these days.
