[QUOTE="Morgan19, post: 28010, member: 4243"] I'd thought of eBay, but since this is for a business and we needed a solution pretty quickly, I ruled that out. Thanks for the link, though. :) I ended up purchasing two Radeon 7000s yesterday and am testing one in one of the G4s now. It's hard to quantify the performance without running benchmarks, but simply from an aesthetic/speed standpoint it seems to be handling Panther better.

Besides, the way I figure any higher-end cards are going to give me greater 3D performance, which doesn't really matter for these G4s, rather than more 2D power. So I figure the 7000s should do quite nicely. Too bad they're PCI, but that was the only immediate solution that was really viable. m19 [/QUOTE]
