Download the free G3/G4 Profiler from the Powerlogix site.  It has 
much more control over the sonnet card.  However, you must remove it 
for classic to start in OSX.

Sounds like a faulty monitor-card connection.  The resolution that a 
card gives is due to its communication with the monitor.  Maybe you 
have some bent pins or crust on the connector.

Radio snack or any other pc parts place will have a 4 pin power 
splitter.  use it like an extension cord.

G3 has a 10x max, this is not true with a G4.  You would have seen 
more improvement with altivec apps like photoshop if you spent the 
extra franklin.
