Harry, I'm surprised that your display running at all. My PowerCenter display was developing all kinds of "artifacts" after a G3 upgrade. I upgraded to a (discontinued) IXMicroUltimateRez from OWC and that fixed the problem. Did that make computer actually runs faster? I don't think so. Just the screen re-write is cleaner. Talk to the people at OWC (MacSales) to see what your best options are.
One thing about cable modems: The speed is determined by the number of subscribers connected to your node. If you suspect that a "node overload" is slowing you down, threaten them to go with another (DSL of plain dial-up) service - assuming that you have such an option. Tell them you might as well, since you'r paying a premium for a connection speed that is no better than the alternatives. In my case I've found that in a day or so, my connection speed "magically" improved. It's worth a try....

I've had a burning video card question for a while as well. I have a Powerbase 180 upgraded with a Powerlogix G3 card running at 450mh and using OS9.2.2 (via OS9Forever) and 160mg ram. I have a cable modem but find surfing sorta slow (I've confirmed with the cable company that the up/download speed is working "normally"---they say it's my computer slowing things down). I still have whatever graphics card was installed originally in the computer. Would I get faster web performance if I upgraded the graphics card? If so, any recommendations? I've tried upgrading drivers, but that didn't work.
