Hello,
I am buying an old Power Mac G3 to use as a file server for my collection of vintage Macs. I would love to connect a 17 inch Apple Studio Display (Flat Panel), but the Power Mac was built before the ADC monitor connector. The first solution would be to buy a VGA to DVI adapter and then a DVI to ADC adapter for a total of about $130. The other option is to buy a graphics card from a G4 with the ADC connector and plug it into one of the G3's expansion slots. G4 graphics cards go for around $20 to $30 on ebay. My question is, will a G4 graphics card work in the G3?
