I was given a B&W G3 today that I would love to use, but it is devoid of a video card. Not meaning so sound cheap, but our family is under austerity measures, and I need the least expensive solution to get this thing up and running.

The main use for the box will be web browsing, quicken and iPhoto, so 3D performance is not important.

The least expensive card I've found is the Radeon 7500 which is both more power than I need and more money than I care to spend. What other options are there?

Paco is bitter about the loss of his .mac webpage. Image will return when his sadness lessens.

maybe look around for one of the older ati rage128 series cards. i still use a nexus 32mb card to drive my second monitor and it does the job just fine. i'd think that some of these must be around cheap somewhere?
