Bought the G3/450/1MB some months ago, but sadly, the card is discontinued. They also had the best price for the ATI Radeon 7000. You'll find the cards in the webshop, section "Erweiterungskarten". Also, I think the Formac card is not OS X compatible (not sure), secondly I suspect the Adaptec. Greetings from Hamburg, Chrisso -- SuperMacs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
