If you want AV, the 7300 is out due to no support. (The same goes for the 9500/9600, which have no video built in at all.) The 7500/7600 have audio in and out and video in, but no video out. The 8500/8600 have audio/video in and out. The Beige G3 has an optional AV card with full audio/video in and out, but it was not standard on all models. Note that although the bus speeds are slightly faster for the Beige G3, it is limited to only 3 RAM slots for 768 Meg (and requires low profile DIMMs) vs the 8 slots in the 7300-8600 PCI Macs for 1 Gig. (12 in the 9500/9600 for 1.5 Gig.)
