The built in video is generally faster then anything you can plug into a slow nubus slot, but you are limited to 2mb of vram. Since the 840AV machine has built in DSP's finding a video card with dsp's (the radius I mentioned) would probably be a waste of time (and doesn't work with os 8.x I believe). I have an inexpensive Supermac Thunder 24 (Radius purchased Supermac and rebadged some cards I believe) board in my 950 system that allows for high resolution video (has 3mb+ of memory?) a.. 640x480 up to 24-bit b.. 832x624 up to 24-bit c.. 1024x768 (at 75 Hz) up to 24-bit d.. 1152x870 up to 24-bit My 840AV has a Radius pds spigot card, 10/100 nubus network card, and UW scsi card so I am out of slots. -- Quadlist is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
