Your Beige AIO has three PCI slots if they are not in use. If any of your PCI video cards have Mac drivers give them a try. I did read on this list of someone having trouble with a PCI video card in his AIO. I used a 2mb vram chip from a Dell Optiplex to double the vram in my Beige. It was identified by System Profiler and caused no problem. I also did not notice any appreciable difference in video but I am not a gamer.
