I'm looking for a very cheap video card <$100 for a first generation G4 (2xAGP), my rage 128 is really ancient. And so I think that either of these cards would be an improvement.

I beleive both are flashible in macs, here are the links if you want a closer look

Geforce4mx

Radeon7500

Have you considered the Radeon 8500? It's much better than the 7500 and it's flashable, as long as you find the right card.
Current: XPC SB81P, 3GHz P4, 1GB RAM; Compaq Presario V2410US, Turion 64 ML-30, 512MB RAM
Previous: Sawtooth G4/400 448MB RAM
ATI Radeon 8500 64MB - flashed variant

This poll is more than useless because neither of the two video cards is flashable. You have to either take a GeForce2 MX or a Radeon 8500, which FYI are the only two flashable video cards.
