If the 7300 was a 200Mhz. originally, you've got a 50Mhz. Bus Speed. Good. The Vid Card would need to be flashed to Mac if it's do-able. The 10gig drive, is it ATA 33 or 66? MAybe 133? Sonnet made a 66 and makes a 133 card for IDE drives. My recent experience with drive cards is it left me impressed with the speed boost. I used an FWB SCSI Jackhammer in my 8100 with a SCSI-2 drive. Radius Le Mans vid card and a MAxpowr 266Mhz. acccelerator. Never seen those startup icons dance across the screen THAT fast before.
