A bit off topic, but it is about old hardware.
I have a b & w G3 with the stock video card (ATI Rage 128?). I've been
looking at some cheap 19-inch wide screen monitors that have a native
resolution of 1440 x 900. I suspect the current video card won't
support that resolution. Does anyone know if that's the case?
ViewSonic has one that sells for $220 - $280 (depending on where you
shop). What puzzles me is this part of the specs:
Compatibility (PC): VGA up to 1440x900 non-interlaced
Compatibility (Mac): Power Mac" G3/G4/G5 up to 1152x870 (adapter may
be required)
Why would it be limited to that resolution on a Mac, no matter what
model? Isn't that determined by the video card on the machine? And why
does it say VGA for the PC, but talks about an adapter for a Mac (b & w
G3 has a VGA connector)? This is the only monitor that has this
resolution limitation specified for Macs, but most of them don't have
any Mac-specific info anyway other than to indicate Mac compatibility.
Any help is appreciated, and if anyone is running a wide-screen on one
of these G3s, how is it?
Thanks,
RJay
