RE: a quick question or 2 about Apples 30" monitors and G5 towers...

[David Moyle]

Hey Mark

I've been away for a long time and have no idea if you received any answers.

I don't think its more can the G5 handle it, more can the graphic card put
in the computer when originally purchased (unless upgraded later) can. I
don't think earlier G5's can handle a 30" unless they had it upped after the
newer card was released.

For a definitive answer maybe try MacTracker and see what the monitor
requires to run or ring your local AppleCentre Techie, they should be able
to give a definitive answer.

Thanks, David Moyle

Subject: a quick question or 2 about Apples 30" monitors and G5 towers...

for those lucky enough to own such beasts.

is the Apple 30" display supported by ALL  of apple's G5 towers even 
the lower end  single processor slower bus models?

if not which G5 towers  don't support the Apple 30"  display?


looking at getting a cheap s/h G5 tower to bridge me over for 5 to so 
months  - I mean has anybody seen just how cheap they are going for 
on eBay! it must break the heart of any one who bought one new :(  :(
watched  one of the single processor ones  get passed in at $750 with 
not even  a single bid!!!


My G4 TiBook is starting to really showing it's age but not looking 
to replace it in that form factor immediately.

Will probably salary package a MacBook Pro 15" and a Apple 30" 
monitor mid year or slightly later I'll probably end up using the 
30" display more with  the G5 (if I get it) for assorted photo 
processing tasks and beefing up the ram to handle Photoshop CS2 stuff 
should give suitable performance  for a couple of years to come and 
use my current 20" Apple display  with the MacBook Pro.
