I'm cleaning out my inbox, so just in case you didn't get an answer  
to this:

If you're running Panther or Tiger and want Quartz Extreme to work  
then officially you have to use the AGP card. There is/was a hack for  
getting some PCI cards to work. A little Internet searching should  
find it.

Most people use Xbench. Search MacUpdate or VersionTracker for it and  
other benchmarks.
