Hey Everyone...I'm fairly new to macs. I have a dual G4 w/ AGP graphics that I want to run 2 displays on. My question is this: Are all cards made by ATI or the ones in the Radeon family mac compatible? Does it necessarily have to be the "mac Edition"? Is the only difference the fact that the mac editions have the apple cinema display output on them? Can I get any ATI or radeon and drop it in? I'm running Tiger and using it for DP 4.6 by the way, if it makes a difference.
The reason I ask is that the "mac edition" cards seem to be much more expensive than their PC equivalents. I'm running 2 Sceptre 19" LCDs via DVI, so does it make a difference? |

hahaworld... Sorry to hear your terrible news. I feel you. It hurts. Can we do something? Send letters to Macintosh from Mac Forum? I remember when you got your Quad. I was inspired and motivated by your purchase and you called it: "Smooth". Then all went quiet... Your Report is very disturbing. I know that you are a Dedicated Mac User and made the purchase expecting great things. Did you 'Set-Up' the Quad or was it done by Mac or a Professional Music Retailer? Will Mac Replace? Please keep us informed.
