ISSUES:I have a beige G3 MT/333. Bought it cheap and have been tinkering with it for a few months.
First, where is slot F1? Is this an upgradeable slot like the PCI slots? The video connection seems to be wired into the motherboard but there is a slot next to the three RAM slots I couldn't figure out the purpose for.
(added a zip drive, replaced 24x CD with a Sony 52x32x52 R/RW drive)
I think this slot (F1) is for the built-in video display and not upgradable.
I bought a Radeon 7000/32meg PCI card on eBay. I'm happy with it.
Second, what video options will work for this machine? If nothing else I will probably move my VooDoo 3 2000 card from the 7600 to the Beige G3 when I am ready to make the transition. I would need to free up a PCI slot. If I wanted to spring for another one I could get the 32 meg Radeon PCI card or the 64 meg Radeon card. Anything else I should be considering?
Even though I could have lived with the video card that came with the machine, I decided to buy this card because I don't like to use converters in
general (in this case Apple-to-VGA). Besides, this set up will allow me to use two monitors if I wanted to.
Good luck. Jim
