Ok, I've been putting off buying a new video card for my B&W G3 400 for a while now. It's still running it's 16 meg ATI 128. So I'm looking for real opinions of what would be the best gaming PCI video card for this old beast. It's become more of a necessity now that I'm playing WC3 :-)

Sort of the only option for a PCI video card is the Radeon 7000 Mac Edition. Don't pay more than $120.

I second the recommendation to locate a PCI Radeon, it is a better card than the Radeon 7000. However if you are only interested in a brand new card, then its your only choice.
