I was aiming for the beige g3 but the slots are too small
i suppose i need a g4 , would they be pci-x?

If your card is PCI-X (not regular PCI or PCI-Express) it is unfortunate as the only Macs with such ports are PowerMac G5 (you can confirm it with tools like MacTracker or sites like applehistory.com).
Before the G5 it was PCI ports (and AGP for GPUs) and before that the happy world of Nubus 😛
robespierre:
PCI-X physically looks exactly the same as 3.3V 64-bit PCI and is generally compatible with all types of PCI, falling back to lower signaling speeds.
What doesn't always work is installing 64-bit cards in 32-bit slots. The PowerMac G3 and Yikes G4 only have 32-bit slots. Sawtooth and later have 64-bit slots.
Knezzen:
Yeah, they are 64bit PCI slots, so a Sawtooth and up is needed as robespierre mentions.
