Comment:
I'm buying my first Mac and I found a Powermac G4 450mhz on Ebay at a great price. My question is will my Proview 986 19 Inch Monitor work with this system? I have the DVI to VGA adapter already, but I'm not sure if the Powermac G4 will work with this monitor and I'd appreciate any feedback.
the lynch pin of your dilema is really at what resolution it will work (ie how much RAM does it have). it IS worth buying a 32mb RAM video card if you don't already have this. your 450 will run best on 10.3, but at a push can do 10.4
both versions have version tracker to tell you info about your graphics card. i recently put a 32mb graphics card in a 450 and it made a big difference.
the card is: NVIDIA GeForce2 MX: Chipset Model: GeForce2 MX Type: Display Bus: AGP VRAM (Total): 32 MB
and it runs a 23" Apple Display. Oh the pleasure of it all...
