How is that? When pentiums have PCI video cards that are much faster than 
what most powermacs have.  Yeah the newer powermacs have pci but the 
majority of the powermacs still in use are using nubus video cards (akin 
to ISA ones on the pc).  So how is it possible to get better performance 
from a slow video card????
