I just won a Digital Audio G4 733MHz plus 512MB Ram, SuperDrive and

Yep, pretty good deal.
The stock video card is a Nvidia GeForce2 32MB, but it doesn't have
TV-out. I'm looking at the Radeon 7500 64MB with TV-out, but I need to
know the real-world pros & cons of the two cards.
Here are 2 pages that have benchmarks for the AGP Radeon and GeForce2MX

You may want to look into a separate video in option since the cards
are almost equal in real word day to day usage.
Also, I want to purchase a +1GHz upgrade for it, yet I don't know
which to get. I like the 'bang for your buck' PowerLogix 1Ghz for $220
from OWC.
Sorry to disagree with Bruce, but...
Use your machine before looking into this upgrade. You would be
spending 63% of the computer price for less than a 33% improvement in
speed.
Any suggestions on these or further upgrades?
Usual question- What are you going to use this Mac for?
more ram would be nice (up to a Gig)
Other than that, your planned usage would dictate what upgrades to
recommend.
HTH,
