I used to run my B&W 350 with OS X 10.0 -> 10.1.1 along with an ATI 128 Rage Pro and Voodoo3/2000, but the latter definitely wasn't accelerated and the effort required to drive both monitors slowed the machine down noticeably. Then 10.1.2 came out and the machine refused to boot if the Voodoo card had a monitor attached :-( It's never worked since in OS X, but the machine's back running 9.2.2 now for various reasons.
