3D Hardware acceleration - ATI Rage Pro

[James Baumann]

I'm assuming there will be a number of questions like this right after the 
holidays --

My son (I swear, my son) received the Tony Hawk skateboard game.  It runs on 
my Power Macintosh G3 (OS 9.1) but realllllllly sloooooooooowly.  I've 
allocated loads of RAM to it with no difference.

Now, the problem just might be the 266 MHz processor (233 MHz is the minimum 
requirement).  But the requirements also ask for ATI Rage Pro or better for 
the Hardware 3D acceleration.

A Sherlock search shows I have the ATI 3D accelerator as well as the ATI 
Radeon 3D Accelerator and ATI Rage 128 3D Accelerator all tucked away in my 
Extensions folder.  Are these the same at ATI Rage Pro?  How do I know which 
is better?  And how do I go out and find this?  Is this actually a video 
card I need to invest in?

Thanks for the help, in advance.  Shred on gnarly dudes!!!!
