Going from the IxMicro TT128 8 megger to the ATI Radeon 7000 was night and day for everything. Text scrolled muuch faster, www.homestarrunner.com was now fluid, it just made a world of difference. NTM I was able to upgrade from OS X 10.2 to 10.3 :-) This is on a [EMAIL PROTECTED], 512MB RAM PTP250 machine. I tried the UT2004 demo-it ran, but when they say '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' that is pretty much what they mean ;-)Greetings Everyone!
Long time watcher first time writer.
I have a G3/400/200/1MB Upgraded PowerCenter 150 - 320MB Ram.
Anyways the question is relating to graphics cards, has anyone purchased an:
"ATI Technologies RADEON 9200 128MB MacEdition PCI Graphics Card"
Is there a noticeable, maybe night/day difference in system responsiveness and speed with it?
Thanks,

Heh, I also just realized that I've been running with backside cache off here in 10.3.9-and it was still quite respectable in its performance! I am amazed at how much faster 10.3 is. I don't EVER remember saying that about any other OS except maybe Amiga back in the day. Well, OS 9 was a little more responsive than 8.x, but the diff from 10.2 to 10.3 is pretty noticeable.
So in conclusion-yes, it will make a big difference to modernize your graphics subsystem, even in a PCI only Mac :-)
