Is > the 400 watt unit just a later version, or what? AFAIK, quite the contrary: according to MacTracker, first generation MDDs had the 400W PS, subsequent versions (FW 800 and 2003) had the 360W. Perhaps the design became more power-efficient; I don't know if the two PS are interchangeable. > My main motivation for doing this was to have a 128M card, so as to run a > larger monitor at full resolution I don't know about your 9000 card, but I think 64MB are more than enough to drive high-res monitor and/or dual monitors (as long as the card has two ports). I did run dual monitors (21" and 15") on a meager 32MB Geforce 2 MX. Unless for "larger monitor" you mean a 30" display or such (that might require a beefier card). -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
