Whats the fastest video card I can put in the above mentioned computer?
I'd guess it's likely a flashed PC nVidia GeForce FX 5200 that will support Core Image & Quartz Extreme. You might be able to get an FX 6200 to work, but I don't think it would be much faster, just more expensive?
If you don't need Core Image (which is slow over PCI), any of the Radeon PCI cards are a big step up from the OEM Rage. I personally like the PC flashed cards in the 9100, 9200, 9250 series. They're generally a lot faster than the real Mac Radeon 9200 which is almost an amped-up version of the 7000, not too quick. If you want a real Mac card you're pretty much restricted to the Radeon 9200 Mac Edition, or the ubiquitous Radeon 7000 Mac Edition.
You can find info on fast PCI video cards and ROMs for flashing PC cards here:
