Hi,

A recent acqusition, a G4 Quicksilver tower, contained a Village Tonic MPDD Pro PCI graphics card inside:

I was wondering of people's experiences of these - if it should be kept over something like the venerable ATI Rage 128 PCI graphics card?

Interestingly, it has a standard Mac DB15 video connector, and purports to be compatible with just about every Apple-branded monitor made, including 12" fixed frequency models and above. It also has driver support all the way down to 7.5.3!

Thanks

JB

ANything AGP would be better/faster for a Quicksilver, BUT that card sounds killer for an early PCI Powermac like an 8500.
