Thanks so much for the help. What is the given wisdom regarding keeping
the beige 233 to play games after I add all the additional VRAM suggested.
I guess I wonder if I should just get a new iMAC for games and video and
use the 233 for other stuff. I really didn't want to spend more dough
but ...

It would appear that 233 and 266 Beige machines are a dead end (I had one ...
once).
The Beige 300, and faster, are, AFAIK, always Rev. 2 or 3, and are compatible
with nearly everything present (OS 9) or planned (OS X, et al).
One can't "fix" a 233 or 266 Beige just by installing a Rev. B or C ROM SIMM
(from OWC, say).
That only fixes the EIDE Slave incompatibility problem ... the video problems
persist.
Use a third party video card in your 233 or 266, if you must have the best
possible *video performance*.
As for *video compatibility* ... well, that is a whole 'nother issue.
