I have the same GeForce4 MX in my QuickSilver. Works great, using the VGA port. I've been wondering tho, if it's worth obtaining an ADC-DVI cable? Or perhaps a better video card? Suggestions welcomed. There are so many different models with in a Brand, I get overwhelmed. Where might be a good source for purchase, and possibly for recommendations? I'm a firm believer in eyeballs. Trust No One, other than your own eyes! Go to local stores and take a look at what they have. Find a display with color reproduction that looks good *to you*. And if you game a lot, check the response time too. Then shop around the 'net for the best price. Don't forget to talk to your local store with the best price in hand - they may be willing to match it! Sites like macworld, cnet, techrepublic, etc have decent reviews. ...Um... A word about those built-in xtra gizmos. I really love my Samsung's display. Visually stunning, IMO. The xtras are ok, but not spectacular. It has a 4-port USB hub, speakers, microphone, and webcam. The hub works fine, even with an xtra long USB cable connecting it back to my Mac. The speakers are a bit tinny as-is. They ignore the equalizer in iTunes, but the eq in other audio apps work fine. No big dealio, as I also have some high quality external speakers that I prefer anyway. The microphone works great with Yahoo! Messenger. It even somehow limits the amount of ambient room noise it picks up. Haven't tried it with other apps yet. The webcam is quite nice, even in low light. It tilts up and down; wish it tilted side-to-side too. It works out-of-the-box in most apps, like Yahoo! Messenger, but *not* in iChat. To make it function in iChat, I had to install a $10 plug-in / driver called iUSBCam, which works, but makes iChat crash now and then. Perhaps this stuff works better in a newer OS; donno, as I'm running Tiger on the QuickSilver.

Cannot put my G4 to sleep.
I have a G4 Tiger. If I command sleep, the monitor sleeps. It will not awake.The computer does not sleep.. If I shut down, it will not turn on unless I reset the PMU. Can I replace the PMU? If so, where is it? Battery replaced. Checked ram. Checked cards. Checked cables. Checked power supply.No. I don`t want to give this to Apple for repair. I want to troubleshoot and repair myself. I realize the opposition from Apple, but where there is a problem, there is a cogent solution.

After you reset PRAM, does it Shutdown and Startup ok? Maybe its just after u try Sleep, and fails, it won't Startup properly. How about USB devices? Any attached? Flaky?

Details please, including something about the internal bus configs. And what external peripherals are connected? ...The inability of a Mac to sleep or wake properly is usually caused by one or more devices or cards not behaving as expected. Does the machine sleep and wake properly if all the external peripherals, except display keyboard and mouse, are disconnected? Are there any messages being thrown into system.log? If I shut down, it will not turn on unless I reset the PMU. hum. That makes me think something internal is failing hard, and locking up a bus. What pci cards do you have installed? Definately check the system log. Can I replace the PMU? The Power Management Unit is a small cpu and other chips on the motherboard, near the CUDA button. (The CUDA button is actually the PMU's hard reset/boot switch). It is not really replaceable. Battery replaced. Checked ram. Checked cards. Checked cables. Checked power supply. Ok. Good start. Check the system log for errors - that will often point to the thing that's giving problem.
