Howdy, folks (first comment in here;-)
I have the same 350 B&W G3. The machine had 576 MB RAM, a 7200 40 GB HD and an original retail Radeon from 1999. OS X 10.0 was a slug....
Then I put in a 500 MHz G4 Card in this summer - 10.1 got much snappier and Jaguar runs fine. Those G4 cards should be at $ 250-300 now, you might give it a try. Keep in mind that the Radeon is an improvement over the stock Rage 128.
There was a problem with G4 card > 500 MHz on B&W machines, no idea whether it's fixed now.
