If you're talking about a couple of hundred bucks, it's also
possible to go with an IDE card and a much bigger IDE drive.

My PowerLogix G3 card, advertised as 300 or 350MHz, runs perfectly
upclocked to 440MHz, and was $169 over a year ago... I think you can do
loads better here, too. I believe that Smalldog is selling a 300+MHz G3
bundled with a USB card for something like $133 right now; search
dealmac.com.

If velocityupgrades.com actually ships their ram, it's $29.99 for a
128MB FPM DIMM.
I think you can come close to cutting that $650 in half!
Meanwhile, low-end beige G3s seem to eBay for around $300 or so,
while low-end blue & whites seem to be going for roughly $600. Sell your
7300 for $150 or so? Hmmm...
Good luck,
