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? |

The ROMs are different. see here...
Failure may mean a non-functioning video card A cheap < $30 adapter is available to go from ADC to DVI. DVI to ADC on the other hand requires a much more expensive $300 adapter. Also, make sure that the Mac (or PC for that matter) card is dual head, or it won't extend the desktop. Some older cards have two connectors but can only mirror 2 displays. good luck Ce message a été modifié par lancet - mer. 6 sept. 2006, 18:29. -------------------- |
