I've got a lot of old parts that I used to upgrade my old PM 7500 years
ago. Your PowerTower should handle all of the old cards. The video is
PCI, all of the Power Computing models had PCI. I have an ATI Rage
Orion card gathering dust on the shelf. You can try it if you'd like.
Email me your address and I'll send it. If it works, pay me whatever
you think it is worth.
