Is it possible for me to swap out a graphics card from a PC to my iMac G3?

According to your screen shot you have Wifi on - not suggesting that might cause an issue but if you're connected via Ethernet I'd turn the wifi off.
Oh okay thanks I had it up in my room where I didn’t have wired internet access and I just put it in my basement where my router is and it must be still connected to WiFi.
How about trying TenFourTube?

Are you getting any other sites in OWB ?

Yeah I get most image and text based sites like this site
I’ll try go and try tenfourtube right now thanks
For OWB make sure you toggle javascript on (cmd J I think) or youtube won't load in any case.

I take it you have 10.4.11 running with all updates too?
I just got both to load up but they both greatly struggle and can hardly put out a frame per 5 seconds
Yes it’s at 10.4.11 with all the possible Apple updates installed for 10.4.11
Really? On my 500Mhz machine OWB plays well, drops the occasional frame but is watchable. Go back and try Omniweb with the user agent I suppied, that usually works better. My Tonvid pack is guaranteed to play fluidly unless there's something wrong with your Mac but it's not a browser/viewer, at these speeds, downloading and playing through MPlayer is best.
Do you think the problem with owb is the res is too high? How do I lower it. I think I already tried omniweb with the user agent you supplied when you PM’ed me more options for YouTube.
It's not too high for mine?
If you use this user agent in OWB
NokiaN90-1/3.0545.5.1 Series60/2.8 Profile/MIDP-2.0 Configuration/CLDC-1.1
That will force the browser to choose the 3gp file, which should then open it in Quicktime (or Realplayer if you have it).
Again, this is a proven method and should work on your iMac too.
3gp files are tiny and can be played back on 200Mhz smartphones.
QuickTime doesn’t work on mine because of my location/isp. I’ll download realplayer and try it though.
I saw SNES9X and other emulators in that video.
just want to inform there is retroarch for our OSX PPC, even most up to date versions with latest emulator gits are compiled. Like mGBA, a accurate GBA emu. Better then running a old core
Grab it

For anyone in the US, just make sure you rip the ROMs from your own cartridges first.
That wont help - if QuickTime won't do it then no streaming software will - at least that's the case here.

I did try that a year or so ago - from memory it was too CPU intensive for my DLSD.
If QuickTime says, "waiting for media" then after 8 seconds says "not found" then yes, it's because of your ISP.
For the OP; have you disabled IPv6 on your Ethernet and AirPort devices? Use the Network prefs pane to configure IPv6 to “Off”. This should sort out many browsing delays and apparent non loading in WebKit based browsers.
OneWindowBrowser is still playing YouTube perfectly fine over Airport on my 10.4.11 ‘Books.

the audio works flawlessly, but the video doesn’t show up. The G3 is just too old for any YouTube videos anyway. It’s decent for listening to music lyric videos though.
Not so - I've had Youtube playback even on a 300Mhz iBook - when everything is set up, it's fine - though you'd be crazy to think it's ideal, my objective was to prove it can be done
I might just have to find a friend who is better with computers than me and try to download your tonvid software on my iMac. It looks pretty useful if I want to make my G3 a semi-modern computer.Not so - I've had Youtube playback even on a 300Mhz iBook - when everything is set up, it's fine - though you'd be crazy to think it's ideal, my objective was to prove it can be done
If you'd like to remove it afterwards, I'd recommend doing it with AppCleaner. It is the best uninstaller for OS X ever.
It sounds like it could be a QuickTime issue. Try reinstalling QT. I think 7.6.4 was the last Tiger version (is that correct?).
As @Dronecatcher points out. Even the lower end G3 is able to playback the low quality YouTube video, but it’s not totally ideal. As a test, I got my PDQ PowerBook G3 233MHz with 512K cache and 256MB of RAM to successfully playback YouTube videos using OneWindowBrowser with zero tweaks. It was like watching a blurry slideshow but audio didn’t skip much at all. So it does work and as you’ve pointed out, it makes listening to YouTube music videos quite doable.

On a related note would this fare with a Mac it's a 16mb agp card
