Thanks for the reply.
Here is the situation:
I am running a G3 Beige Desktop, G4/450 Upgrade.
Using the internal video for now, since apparently the 3dfx card I 
bought won't work
I put the Twin Turbo card in the slot and booted with it. The video 
displayed nothing more than checkerboards, all fuzzy, black, grey and 
white.
Not sure yet, but I may try the ROM in the card just for grins and 
giggles!
