To round out my 8600 w/G4/450 system, one of the last pieces is a video card. I can get an ATI Rage 128 card for pretty cheap, and I'm also considering the Mac Radeon and Mac Radeon 7000. So, I do a little research and the 128 card is from a Blue & Whire G3. So, I go look at the video benchmarks in Nortons, and they don't seem much better than my 8600 built in video. In fact, as I look at the different benchmark results, for the different B & W with the 128 card, they are all over the place. Are there other factors for video speed besides the card itself?
Does anyone have any of these three cards in their 7600 or 8600, and could benchmark their system in Nortons and share with me the results. From what I'm gathering, based on various things I've read is that the Mac Radeon should be fastest, with the 7000 next, and the 128 third.
