The first G3 series introduced in late 1997 is able to support all the PCI based PC Compatibility Cards except the 12-inch PCI Pentium (100Mhz card). Thus, the 7-inch PCI 586 (100Mhz card) and the 12-inch PCI Pentium (166Mhz) should function in the G3 chassis if properly installed.

Since the Power Macintosh G3 All-in-one can only accept 7-inch PCI cards, the 7-inch PCI 586 (100Mhz card) is the only PC Compatibility card that can be used in this computer. The Power Macintosh G3 All-in-one cannot accept 12-inch cards, including the 12-inch PCI Pentium (166Mhz) card.

The 7-inch PCI 586 100Mhz kit does not come with an ATAPI CD audio cable for G3's ATAPI CD-ROM drive, this cable would need to be acquired for this card type to work.
