This isn't a "B&W" (Blue & White), it's an "AGP Graphics" G4. This is
a whole level better than a B&W because you can get an AGP video card
that supports both Quartz Extreme & Core Image. I doubt I'll convince
you to get a relatively expensive AGP card that supports Core Image,
but a cheap Radeon card that supports Quartz Extreme should be a
worthwhile investment. I'd think you should be able to get something
suitable for $20 or less if you search around. It can take up to 2GB
RAM (4x512MB PC100 or PC133 SDRAM). An AGP Graphics is about the
lowest level of Mac that's suitable for OS X without having to spend a
fortune upgrading. This is a nice Mac for Tiger 10.4.11, and could
even run Leopard with a little cajoling.
Is the AGP plug next to the monitor HD-15? The board that seems to feed
both plugs in
her machine was made by ATI Technologies in 1999.
