I need to spice up the beige G3. I've contemplated getting a Voodoo5, but the combination of 3dfx's demise and the lack of OS X acceleration make me think otherwise. Anybody have a PCI Radeon or Orion to trade/sell? How about a ZIF G3/G4 at better than 400MHz?

I've got a bunch of stuff to trade. I've got a complete NeXTStation Color, a 9500/180 without a case, a 1GB Jaz drive with cart, and lots of other junk..

i have a biege g3 but I'm willing to sell these items:

Formac 466 mhz upgrade processor card
Rage 128 Nexus 32 mb PCI graphics card
VST Ultratek IDE Card w/ two ibm deskstars 30 gig drives

with these upgrades on my machine its as fast as the new G4 machines minus the velocity engine for photoshop, the ide card with the ibm deskstars help a lot

a have a powerbook now so i don't use the machine much now

Wow, cool! Is the CPU a G3 or G4? What would you want for it and the video card? Trades, maybe?

the cpu is a G3 466 mhz

probably not a trade but rather I would like to sell these items in order to save up for a car

how about you make a good offer?

(keep in mind that if I sell these two items my beige g3 goes back to a 266 and loses the ability to play dvd's so it has to be a good offer)

i'm actually trying to sell my whole biege system but selling parts may be ok if I can still sell the entire unit)

p.s. where are you located in?

masseyre , does your beige G3 have an internal modem that you are willing to part with?
