Powermac G4 Compatibility Question

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 G4/450 has a VGA or DVD-D connection.

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...
