I have just installed (last Saturday) a Radeon 7000 in my Beige minitower. It IS upgraded with a Sonnet g4 450mhz zif chip, but not sure if that makes much of a diff. The card went in fine, and has been working well, but have not stressed it out with high-res games yet. Works well with Photoshop Elements 2.0. I did not use the drivers that came with the pci board, instead, I downloaded and installed the newest one from ATI. It was NOT easy to find, took a bit of poking around their website before I found it. Or maybe I just missed it right off the bat! Hope you get the kinks out! Bob Freitas
P.S. Thanks to all who offered help with my boot from pram zap problem, will wipe and reformat this weekend and let all know how it goes! Seems one of my sons has the same g3 setup, but no partition of drive. He has no problem zapping pram and booting up on X from 9, or vice versa!
