Is the Radeon 7000 series the last cards to work with the 9600 (OS8/9)? I'd like to take it to the limit! what about display cards? Stock it came with an ixMicro Twin Turbo type card, other cards out there that fit the 9600?

Macintosh Radeon 9200 is the last and most powerful overall that can run in a 9600. Below that comes the Radeon Mac Edition (7200) or the Voodoo series. 7000 can be hacked to run in Mac but performance isn't even on par with the Mac Radeon. And if you need more VRAM, 9200 has double what 7000 has.

For 2D by itself, the Proformance 3 was an amazing beast. I have never seen things scroll around that fast anywhere else. But the 3D support was sadly almost nonexistent and you'd be lucky to ever track one down these days.
