normal (PC x86) PCI gfx cards use to have some bios implanted
that (may) cause trouble when using it on a mac. however, some
card manufacturers have made special graphics cards for the macs,
ie. matrox or ati.
thus, if you're into buying a pci card, check if there's a mac
version available, this may save you some trouble.
as for other pci cards (network, ide controller, etc): some work,
some don't; the "supported hardware" list on linuxppc.org
is quite useful)
however, it should be possible to get your system with its current
config running - let's see what the others say :)
