In that one place
Hey everyone I recently acquired a few parts from a broken B&W Powermac G3 and want to know if it would improve the performance of my AGP Graphics G4.

This was inside the G3 and I was curious if I could install it in the G4 and if I could if it would be worth the effort.

There was also a 32MB PCI ATI Raedon graphics card inside of the G3, will it work if I put it in one of the free PCI slots?

Well just looking briefly at the description, I think this answers your question.
