A PCI card will be unacceptable for GEM or anything graphics
intensive.  I recently got an AGP 9200 with DVI, VGA and S-video off
eBay for $88, and put it in an identical Mac.  It runs fairly well
using one or two DV/SD streams or a few 320x240.  It doesn't do
fragment shaders though - an extra $100 will get you an ATI that will.
