Is that a Good Thing? I want to run Oni at a reasonable speed, and my Wallstreet can't do it, so I ordered this card last night. Anyone know how well Radeon will work in a PCI-based machine?

I can still cancel the order, I think...
Is this a good place for an argument?

Isn't the Radeon pretty much the same thing as it's predecessor? (ATI Rage 128 /w 32 MB)
If so, that is what I'm running in my Beige G3 266 MT... it works very well! I would imagine that the Radeon would behave nicely on it too.

I could be wrong, but isn't the term "Wallstreet" the code name for the first generation G3 powerbook? what computer do you actually have? As far has how the Radeon will perform in a pci Mac, keep in mind that perfomance will be limited by the bandwith of pci. It will however be better than the stock ATI Rage 16MB card. Faster processor and twice the ram.
