Because Apple originally planned for each size monitor to only display one resolution. The reason was so that everything on the screen would print at exactly the size it was on the screen. Then along came scalable fonts, desktop publishing apps and word processors with "zoom" to view the whole page and other things that made it unimportant/impossible to always match scrren and printer size. Anyway, if your adapter has the sense pins set for 640x480, that's all you'll ever get with any Mac videocard that supports the sense pin coding. Try a "straight" Mac DB15 to PC HDB15 adaptor and see if it works. If not, you'll need an adaptor with the switches or dial setting. Griffin sells one that costs almost $50 but it'll make almost any monitor work on almost any Mac or Mac videocard that has the DB15 port. ===== "Truth is, after all, a stronger edifice than a lie.
