It's a fact. A G3 400mhz can't provide full screen video without the help of the Video Card (Not supported on OS X). That's why the ATI Rage Pro LT came with DVD Decoding (Hardware DVD Decoder). I made a simple thing: Selected Flurry Screensaver and Without other Applications running (Finder not active too) and the results aren't good on Thousands of colors (didn't check with Millions). All the G4s have more Video support than the Lombard and Wallstreet which has very little. Apple says "for better performance, select Thousands of Colors instead of Millions". That's NOT a solution. Anyway, I will make a call to Apple, because they can't believe I'm not happy with the Video Support.
