Food For Thought. . .upgrading VRAM on Pismo, Lombard, Wallstreet etc.

[Zoltan]

Well, after discovering that the cute 3D animated user switching effect 
doesn't work on my Pismo due to lack of VRAM I started to wonder. . .up 
to this point, I was under the impression that the only reason I would 
ever need more than 8 MEG VRAM was to play games.  Now computer 
developers are gearing up the requirements in the VRAM department just 
to run an OS.  Am I going to face any other limitations?  I'm currently 
running 10.3.3 and have a gig of RAM, a 30 gig HDD and a ton of other 
stuff like the scanner, burner, zip etc.  I was considering in the near 
future to upgrade my Pismo to a 550 MHZ G4 for my Photoshop Apps. . 
.but is this gonna be worth it?  I hate the idea that the most 
realiable Mac I ever had is going the way of the Dodo!  :(

Hey here's an idea. . .anyone out there who might know of a way to 
invent a simple upgrade that will allow all Pismo users and for that 
matter Wallstreet and maybe even Lombard to upgrade their video ram?  
Maybe through the PC CARD slot or something?  Food for thought. . .
