Thanks to all who responded.
I'll double check with the guy and ask if it's a flashed PC card.
The price is going to be around $80, so it's not too bad at all.
Coincidentally, I just missed out on an auction for a PC ATI 8500 that I
wanted to try flashing, but my ebay trigger finger was slow and it sold for
$80. They're getting hard to come by.

The fact that the Geforce3 works in a Cube was interesting, too, just in
case we weren't too happy with it in the G4/466. I know a couple of Cube
owners who would be happy to get a Geforce 3. Would the PC flashed version
work in a Cube?

Thanks again.
