Shouldn't the beige G3 be in with the PCI Powermacs since it's an Old World machine?

good question, I would be inclined to say yes as much as the other pci based powermacs

least IMO, anything "oldworld" is just that

Are you referring to the "oldworld rom" or openfirmware, whatever its called?

Even though there is no AGP in these, I'd still put it in the G3 category because it is A) a G3 and B) Can natively run OS X!

I'm going to go ahead and say yes, it does belong here, even though the Beige G3 is an Old World-based machine, it still originally shipped with a G3 processor, and thus it goes here.

LCGUY beat me to it.

It shipped from the factory with a G3 and is supported by OS X.

So yes, it does belong in this list.
