Anyone who knows something about graphics cards, I am looking to upgrade the card in my Quicksilver G4. This one seems like a good bargain (though it has to ship from Hong Kong)

http://cgi.ebay.com/Nvidia-Geforce-6200-...1QQcmdZViewItem

I must admit my specialty is laptops and as such I have no experience in video cards whatsoever. My last card was a ATI Rage 128 lol.

If it works in any Mac, it should work in yours. These guys are obviously flashing or swapping ROM chips and where you would find a Mac ROM for a card never shipped in a Mac version I don't know, its probably running the ROM from a 5200 or something.
I think it looks a good buy. I could fancy one of those for my Cube.....

It looks like a flashed card. I installed the same card into my father in law's PC last month.

Definitely a card with Arti ROM from strange dogs. It actually uses a modified 6600 ROM and they have to be rewritten specially for each card. They are great cards for cubes and they have a built in temp sensor.

I have the little brother to that. Mine is without a fan. Great cards, just don't use them in a Rev. 1 Sawtooth. That's where you get into problems. Other than that, yes, it's a modified rom from strangedogs like GuitarMknDude said. Excellent card for an older G4 machine.
