The PCI slot of a MDD is not nearly as well suited to handle a video card as its AGP slot is. I heard that the 66MHz 32 bit PCI of the Blue G3 is ALMOST as fast as the 2x AGP of the Sawtooth. But the 33MHz 64 bit PCI in your MDD will not be nearly as capable as the 4x AGP of that machine. So, you should not be considering a PCI card as a replacement for AGP Radeon 9000.
