I have a G4/466 with the ATI 128 16mb card in it which does not support QuartzExtreme, I am wondering what would be the best video card to replace it? (something under $100 would be nice). Also will QuartzExtreme make a big difference on my machine? I have thought about going G5 but if possible I would like to get more out of this machine.

Thanks,
Mike

Yes, a new video card would make quite a difference. OSX will feel much faster with a good video card. A good one would be a GeForce 4 MX, which Apple used quite a lot a year or so ago. You should be able to get one on ebay for about $70.
