[G4] video card upgrade

[Mark McLain]

Hello to all on the G4 listserver!

Here's my question:  What videocard 'type' is better for my 450MHz G4 AGP and, more importantly,   where can info be obtained helping me to understand the pros and cons of 'why'?  It seems that the ATI and NVIDEA cards are the only game in town for this machine.
Here's my machine stats:
 Machine Name:    Power Mac G4 (AGP graphics)
  Machine Model:    PowerMac3,1
  CPU Type:    PowerPC G4  (2.9)
  Number Of CPUs:    1
  CPU Speed:    450 MHz (Yeah,  I know this needs to be faster than 500MHz)
  L2 Cache (per CPU):    1 MB
  Memory:    1.5 GB
  Bus Speed:    100 MHz
  Boot ROM Version:  3.2.6f1 (Yes,  I'll boot up in OS9 and update this, 'reel soon')

Chipset Model:    ATY,Rage128Pro  (This is what I want to change.)
  Type:    Display
  Bus:    AGP
  Slot:    SLOT-A
  VRAM (Total):    16 MB

 System Version:    Mac OS X 10.4.10 (8R218)  (Runs GREAT!  Use 'Macaroni' to keep it running clean and fast)
  Kernel Version:    Darwin 8.10.0

Name:    ADPT,2930CU
  Type:    scsi
  Bus:    PCI
  Slot:    SLOT-B   (Use this to run two small SCSI drives)

pci9005,31f:  (This is my USB 2.0 card - for my Ralink WLAN  and connect to my ipod dock )
  Bus:    PCI
  Slot:    SLOT-C

PIONEER DVD-RW  DVR-111D:  (the dual layer dvd burner)

Thanks for the consideration, info and help,
