Unfortunately, FG is pretty graphics-intensive and needs a recent-ish card to run well. (I've heard of it running okay on TNT class cards).
I'd guess that the 8meg card would struggle with the texture sizes in FG too - some of them being fairly large. If you ask around here as to what the lowest spec card that runs FG resonably is, hopefully you can find one to buy second hand :) If the Mac version uses command line args like the Linux version, you could run it (from the CLI) with --geometry=320x200 and see if that gets everything loaded (in a small window).
