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, friends!
Thanks for the kind words. I will definitely keep you posted. I bought the Quad from an official Apple rep. at CompUSA. The only things I added that weren't in-the-box were extra RAM and a bluetooth/wireless upgrade (upgrade? That's another thing that made me angry. Who doesn't want bluetooth and wireless capability nowadays? I had to pay an extra $200 to have that installed on a computer that was already almost $4000). Anyway, I really don't mind to pay a lot for something if it's going to work as advertised. I'm slowly finding out things about the Quad, so I probably should have done more research before I bought the thing. My thinking was that I wanted to get the last and best pre-Intel desktop, because usually the last model before a serious overhaul is typically the best from my experience. I wasn't ready to move into the Intel world just yet. Maybe in about 3 or 4 years. I've always had great experiences with LaCie drives, so we'll see. Thanks again for keeping in touch! I will definitely try to send regular updates to the forum here. Right now, all I can say is don't buy Maxtor hard drives. That thing was definitely a lemon. hahaworld |
