I need an ATI PCI Video card that'll work with my PowerMac G3 B&W. I'm currently using an old PCI card from my old PowerMac 9600 so if I could replace it in time for christmas (I'm giving the computer away as a gift to my Grandma) then that would be fantastic.
I see some going on eBay so if I can't find one here I'll purchase one on there. I can pay via PayPal, or if you really want maybe we can trade somehting. Thanks! :)

Just out of curiosity, do you have a target price range? Brand new Radeon 9200s are about $130.
I recommend a Radedon 7000 or 9200 for their good performance. They're pretty cheap on the used market.

I don't need a killer graphics card by all means, I need something for under $20 that can just use to display things. I'll b planning on running Mac OS X 10.3 (Or 10.2) and I just need something so the machine will work.
So nothing fancy, just an ATI PCI card, the G3 currently has some PCI graphics card that came with my PowerMac 9600/233, it says "Twin Turbo 128 MA Rev 3.7" on it, and has the old Mac style port, not VGA. I might sell the PowerMac 9600 so I'll want to put back it's original card and get a cheap one for the G3. :)

I have a hadware modded (replaced with 128K ROM) radeon 7000 64MB card. I should have it on one of my old G3s. For 50$ + 5$(priority mail shipping?)

Sorry I don't need one like that. A 16mb PCI ATI Rage would be fine for my needs.

Have 2 video cards to choose from and an ATA controller if needed?
ATI Mac Edition 7000 PCI - $40
ATI Mac Edition 9200 PCI - $80
ACARD ATA133 6280M Boxed PCI - $50
Both mint and tested (receipt for warranty available as well I believe but would have to dig through files).

Sorry, like I said before ^^ I need a low end card, probably like a ATI Rage that I just need to display video, no gaming.

Just a suggestion: 16mb would be ok but the radeoon 7000 for only 40 is a good deal and it will make expose a HELLLLL of a lot smother.

Well the Mac 9600 (the one I borrowed the video card for) won't really boot up and the buyer doesn't need it anymore. I should be fine for now but, if anyone has a card still I'd be interested. :)
