hi

I have just got hold of a powermac g4 AGP model

and it has a radeon 16mb card which is in the AGP slot (with DVI and VGA connectors)

my older blue&white powermac has a readon with 32mb ram (but is a PCI)

is the AGP card better? even though it's 16mb

How does Apple System Profiler identify each of the cards? The 16 MB card may be the OEM Rage 128 Pro that shipped with the sawtooths. The 32 MB PCI card may be a retail Radeon 7000. If so, the PCI card is the more powerful one.

However, we really can't be sure without knowing what the cards are.

The AGP can be either a ATI 128 or the slightly better ATI 128 pro. The B&W G3 originaly shipped with a ATI 128 more or less on pair with the 128AGP. At the time you could also get a PCI Radeon a much better game card than any ATI 128.
Some years later ATI replaced the Radeon with the inferior Radeon 7000 that really is a marginal improvement over the ATI128
