Martin, I've done a small search of the available 3D cards on the
market a few months ago and found there is very little support on the
power PC platform. You are better off using a Pentium based PC if you
need fast 3D and low cost. For the Power PC, all I could find that was
interesting was the RS6000 3D cards (check the IBM WWW site). On the
Intel PC side, check any GLINT based 3D card. Strongly recommended.

Hope it helped
