It is indeed the Radeon 7000 PCI Mac Edn.

It is NOT an original Radeon PCI Mac Edn., I do more 2D wthan 3D on my 
G3 so I wasn't over bothered about the 3D being slower, it's pearly in 
UT and Quake3 so I don't care :).

Yes, BUT, you can put the ATi Rage 128 in one of the other PCI slots. 
If your thinking about dual monitor, the Radeon 7000 comes with a 
DVI-to-SVGA adapter that allows attachment of another monitor to the 
Radeon's DVI flat panel port. It also comes with a Mac-VGA plug so you 
can use older Apple monitors on one of the ports.

Yes. I just use the DVD Player in OS X 10.2. Works fine.

Hmmm... my jury is still out on QE actually. I have noticed it has 
adverse effects on other OpenGL stuff (namely the excellent free 
driving sim 'Racer' <www.racer.nl>) and it may also be slowing my games 
down. I'm going to turn it off and see if it still works as well in 2D 
and then decide.

It have an S-VHS out port and an adapter for Analog Aux.video. as well 
as cables for both.
