I tried the PCI video card from my G3, but there was still no picture. I have zapped the PRAM, and tried a different battery. Any other suggestions? <BR>

Though the system has an AGP slot, you can put a PCI video card in, such<BR>
<BR>
as the one in that G3 system. If you can make that work, but the AGP<BR>
card won't work even after you reseat it, then definitely look into<BR>
replacement cards. Look for anything that's Mac-compatible and AGP 4X<BR>
<BR>
compatible, and be sure to read reports on xlr8yourmac.com <a href="http://xlr8yourmac.com"><http://xlr8yourmac.com></a> to make sure<BR>
there are no issues with a given card and that model of Power Mac. Seems<BR>
like there was some fairly modern card that didn't like Digital Audios<BR>
<BR>
(I bought a Radeon 9800 for my own DA).<BR>
