I believe that the Pismo Rage128 card is AGP-based. I'm not sure for the
Lombard. The reason that you can't enable Quartz Extreme is because of lack
of video memory. QE requires at least 32MB of VRAM while the Pismo has only
8. Somebody made a hack available which will make QE enabled for PCI-based
Macintosh as long as you have a Radeon card, which also rules out the Pismo.
Sorry, but I'm already looking at another PowerBook to replace my Pismo
since this 8MB VRAM, for me, is a dead end. Of course, it might not be for
you...

The system profiler on the Lombard says it's PCI. the bottle neck is the RAm though .. i have a beige G-3 with a Radeon card with the PCI hack. The finder is much faster, but if i try to do any video it's a lot slower .. i read it is because lower bandwidth of the PCI vs the AGP bus.
