To complete the story: I just got myself that Radeon card (ATI Radeon 9000 Pro 64MB DVI/ADC), and I do find the difference DVI vs VGA very real, even on this 19" screen. Maybe the improvement is more noticeable on this screen, because of its high native resolution 1680x1050, I don’t know. But befo

Go for the Radeon 9000. I have one in my MDD and it runs my 17" Studio Display and 22" Acer LCD very well. Chance Geke wrote: > I need some advice regarding graphic cards for my PowerMac. > > I bought a high-res display with DVI and VGA input for my G4 Digital > Audio 466MHz, but I'm running it

I need some advice regarding graphic cards for my PowerMac. I bought a high-res display with DVI and VGA input for my G4 Digital Audio 466MHz, but I'm running it on VGA as the Mac's card (ATI Rage 128 Pro AGP4x) has no DVI out. Now I'm not sure if it's because of that, but my eyes don't like thi
