Hello I was just wondering if a setup like this would work I am currently trying to setup my G4 dual 1.25ghz mac to run OS9 and OSX but with a certain modification.

I would like to try to run a Radeon 9200 PCI Card with 128mb vram. But I would like this to use this mainly for OS9 only.

with OSX I have a Radeon 9800 Pro 128mb vram AGP card. No 3d Acceleration is supported in OS9 on this card.

Now I am not looking for the best card in the world to run OS9 games as not alot of games are graphic intensive on OS9 I'm pretty sure there maybe few games that are.

my Questions are:

What does it mean when it says "No 3d Acceleration" does this mean that OS9 games like Jedi Knight II are not gonna run?

Is it Possible to have both cards running beside each other like that but be setup only to run on the one video card for each OS without having to do any hardware changes every time I reboot?
