One other note about G3 upgrades and video.
Onboard video on this series is known to be quite slow, as it uses system RAM rather than dedicated VRAM. Apart from obviously adding a PDS or Nubus card, the other known remedy for this is L2 cache.
If your machine comes with the specified 512k cache installed (ie it hasn't been raided for another machine) you should be able to cache the entire screen if you use lower resolutions and/or colour settings. A 1MB L2 cache can cache the entire screen at higher resolutions. 1MB cache SIMMs are almost impossible to find though - 256k SIMMs are much easier.
Luckily, all of the G3 upgrades have their own L2 cache onboard, either 512k or 1MB.
