Are there particular slots one should or shouldn't use for displays in a rev 1 B&W?
If you want to run Tiger in a stable fashion on a Rev 1. I wouldn't use any slot for video other than the PCI-66 slot designed for it. Then again, I've never had a need for more than one video adapter personally.
Slap a Radeon Mac Edition in that slot (or 7000), Put a 72 GB SCSI disk in, a 2940 LVD card (the OEM Apple one), 1 GB of RAM, install Tiger, enable PCI Extreme 3.1 and go. (this is what I was running from 10.0 through 10.4.5 with no problems for the past 6 years). The machine started as a G3 400 B&W Rev 1. It eventually had a Daystar 550 Mhz G4 in it as well. One or two versions of OS X were slightly unstable (certain programs would cause a crash if they had been run and then quit or the machine would panic on shutdown... but it was like one or two point releases).
