Hi Darcy, 1920X1200 is the native resolution, so I think I'll be OK with the 9200 card. It seems to be listed at just under $100 - a fair enough price to be able to rotate the monitor (seems to me). I think the local Mac dealer will know, in any case, and if I buy it from those guys, they'll tak

Hey Chuck, One last thing occurs to me -- what is the native resolution of your Samsung display? You want to make sure it's supported by the ATI 9200, which supports digital flat panel displays (via DVI) up to 1920x1200. Some extremely large monitors (like Apple's 30" Cinema Display) have a na

Hi Darcy and Robert, This is just the information I hoped I'd get from you guys. Now I'll look for a Radeon 9200, have a happier bank account and still be able to get portrait mode. I am looking forward to that! As my daughter would say, "You guys are Awesome!" Thanks, Chuck On Mar 26, 2005

I'm also not 100% sure the 8500 works with the G5's. Actually, now that I think about it, I'm pretty sure the 8500 won't work with your G5. ATI makes two version of the Radeon 9800, one for G4s, and one for G5s. This leads me to suspect that the 8x AGP bus in the G5 is not compatible with olde

Hi Chuck, Well, I see I was mistaken -- Robert got the Radeon 8500, not the Radeon 9800. I would still suggest the Radeon 9200 because it's a PCI card, so you can install it *in addition* to your the (very good) video card that came with your G5. If you get an AGP card like the Radeon 8500, yo

Chuck, All you need is the ATI Radeon 9200 Mac Edition, which is much cheaper than the Radeon 9800 (a heavy-duty gaming card loaded with 3D horsepower you don't need.) The Radeon 9200 is the card Robert Patterson got. Here are some vendors that have it: http://froogle.google.com/froogle? q

Save some money and get a less expensive card that supports Vv. I picked up a 8500 Pro Mac Edition new for about $120. That is AGP 4x. If you have a G5 Powermac, I think your only option is the 9800 Pro Mac Special Edition. See my tech tips faq (linked from website below) for more info. The onl
