I have a three year old 6400/250 power pc mac.  I like it, but it is
really slow compared to new ones.  I don't know much about computer
hardware.  While looking through a mac warehouse magazine, i saw the
accelerator section and looked it over.  If I were to get a Sonnet
Crescendo G3/L2 400 mhz 1mb cache and ram doubler software to help my 32
mb ram, what else do i need for great game play and virtual pc game
play?  Is this enough?  What 3d grafx card can i use with this thing? 
will i be able to use the voodoo4 card with my machine?  Is it out?
Sorry about my ignorance, but i just got back into computer gaming.
thanks
matt neylon
also, will i be able to run os x, should i wait for it?
