I have a video card for sale that would make a great upgrade for an older PowerMac G4. It's a flashed PC version, but it'll work fine with a Mac, with a few caveats (read on).
The card is a GeForce 3. It is not exactly the same as the Mac version, so it has a few limitations. First of all, I don't think it fits in a Cube. It is 7 1/8 inches long. Also, it causes the screen to flicker when installed in an AGP 2x slot, so you'll have to put it in a Digital Audio or Quicksilver machine for best results. Finally, when first turning on your computer, it will cause horizontal lines to appear on the screen. They go away about a minute after turning on your computer or waking it from sleep, but it is an issue that I feel I should bring up because the person I bought it from didn't mention it in the auction. This card has a VGA port, a DVI port, and a non-functioning S-video port, but it only supports one monitor at a time. Because of the various limitations of the video card, I'm selling it for $50 shipped.
However, if you can live with these problems (I was fine with it for a number of months, and am only selling it because I got a Radeon 9800), it's a great video card. Significant upgrade for Digital Audio users who still have their original Rage 128, or Quicksilver owners with GeForce 2MXs. It is not a miracle video card, but if you're upgrading from a 32 MB card, you'll see a noticeable improvement in many games.
