Welcome to the world of Mac video upgrades.
Through the same website that sponsors this LEM PCI List you can subscribe
to the LEM SWAP List. Do it and ask for a video card.
A fellow was offering a 3dfx 64-Meg Voodoo5 5500 card a few weeks ago. I
snapped it up. It works like a charm. I have a Mac with the same motherboard
as yours. He wanted only fifty bucks.
