Radeon 7000 PCI, generic PC flashed with the latest Mac ROM...running 
the textures, world or object at anything but high, removes texture 
maps leaving white polygons and light mapping.

Yes, Daystar XLR8 550 clocked to 600...they make them faster these days 
but this machine actually does almost everything I've tried on 
it...Neverwinter, Return to Wolfenstein and other Q3 engined games.  
Only thing that doesn't work on the old girl is Simcity 4 and I blame 
the coders...I have an old 7500/100 with the G3 from the B&W and 
another Radeon 7000 in it, I ought to expand my "how low can I go 
testing."  I could try a pair of grape iMacDVs but I think they have 
like 4MB VRAM
