[CUBE] VIDEO Cards

[Hal]

Well, the Rage 128 does not take advantage of Quartz Extreme. I've 
tried all the video cards that fit in the Cube without modification and 
use the original bracket on the Cube. There is a significant difference 
when you upgrade to a GF2 or a Radeon, and a larger one when you go to 
a GF3. You'll only really see the GF3 benefit, if you use a monitor 
that displays higher than 1024x768. You'll see the largest improvements 
in games, but some improvement overall with any video card upgrade.

hope this helps.
