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? |

Hello!
I'm the guy with the Quad. I haven't disappeared. I've just been going through Quad Hell. Short version of the story: I bought a Maxtor TB drive that was also from Hell. Eventually, it gave up the ghost and I returned its smoking, dead hulk back to CompUSA for a replacement. I got a LaCie FW drive that I just hooked up, so as soon as I put it through the paces, I'll let you know if I have any better luck. Right now, my Quad G5 (pre-Intel) is a crawling, sluggish beast. My 3-year-old G4 Laptop leaves it in the dust. How about that? So far, I don't like Quad World. I'm feeling like I made a $4000 mistake. Oh, I also had a bad RAM stick in the machine. That was also wreaking havoc. More later! hahaworld |
