That will help a bit with video (i.e. opening windows). Also, have you tried the PCI Extreme 'hack'. That thing worked like a charm in my S900.
With PCI QE I was able to run the Marine Aquarium screensaver as my background pattenr, while I was using iTunes (eq meter, but not the visualizer). I could do actual work while it ran between 25-30fps. Floored me! Especially since I have a G3/300 with one of the flashed Sapphire 32MB Radeon 7000 cards! Try the PCI extreme program, you can get it from version tracker. Worst case, it doesn't make much of a difference, you can always turn it off again. -Robyn > I'm running the Sonnet 450/G4 and Radeon 7000. OSx lives on its own 6Gb > drive and I have about 1Gb ram.
