Hi, I have a pc and a mac G4 and just bought a Radeon 7000 PCI card so I can run both monitors on the mac. Works great except the monitor on the pc side is very fuzzy - hard to read. It is the same exact monitor/mfg. any idea how I can improve the clarity? what do I need to tweak? the refresh rate? any help is most appreciated

If you SWAP the video outputs from the mac to the two monitors does this make the OTHER monitor fuzzy?

good idea - the mac monitor is plugged into my standard AGP Rage 128Pro video card. The PC monitor is plugged into the new Radeon card. I switched the cables but the pc monitor is still fuzzy. So it seems that the pc monitor(VGA is fuzzy no matter which card it's plugged into . . . any ideas?

OK, bear with me now.... You don't tell us if the fuzzy monitor is NOT fuzzy when the PC is driving it. If it is, then guess what? The monitor needs some help (try degaussing it) or is just plain buggered. If you can locate a manual for the monitor it may help you out on setting up the monitor.
