i have the same problem as described below: - I hooked up my old LC 475, and when i turn it on the start chime sound plays, but the screen remains black. The green power light on the monitor is on, and the monitor is properly connected to the computer. Anyone know whats wrong, or if there are...

So the best video cards for Mac OS 9 for the beige G3 are the Ati Radeon 9200 and 7000?

Thank you for the answers. They really helped me. I want my sonnet g3 installed. It is the best buy I have ever done for my Performa. The computer is fast and stable and as you say so responsive. It is really great for gaming with this configuration. The games look also great with the Macintosh...

I am really happy with this machine. Without the sonnet g3 is really slow. Monkey island 1-2, Gabriel Knight, Doom high detailed graphics,  Dark Forces high detailed graphics, King' s Quest 7 and other games run from slow to extremely slow  (some of these are made for motorola and are not...

I have the apple 8100 video card  which is installed on the slot of the sonnet g3. I have installed 4mb vram. Some period I had connected both monitors. The Macintosh colour display at the port of the onboard video card and a Samsung LCD 15 inches monitor at the port of the apple 8100 video...

Are there pci sound cards and what are these for?  I guess they have nothing to do with the games. 

Thank you. I really like my Performa. Especially the sonnet g3 is the best buy. I bought it only 66$ including the transportation from New Jersey to Greece. It is really difficult to find one and usually is very expensive.
