Congrats!!!

I know with the 8bit card it will say "High Resolution Display Monitor Card" on the top of the card, it has 2 rows of VRAM chips on it. Apple made 2 24 bit cards, one with slots to add more RAM to it and another that does not have slots but has 3 row of VRAM chips on it. And there are other Nubus Video Cards as well so you need to look at the card and see what it says.

The IIfx will boot from any system from System 6 to System 7.6.1. I have my IIfx on my Q950's HD until I can get a hard drive for it, and the system on it is 7.6.1 You can hack System 8 onto the IIfx, there are several tricks for it online but I would leave it at System 6 or 7, depending on what you want and need.

Hmmmm... The "High Resolution RGB Apple Monitor" sounds like the large 13in monitor Apple made for the Mac II Series. Damn thing weighs a ton! The 12in one weighs a lot less. But the "High Resolution RGB Apple Monitor" should work with the card. I'm scratching my head on this one. Could you post a 3/4 profile pic of it to show the front and side of it? That would be helpful.
