Updating my G-4 466 DA . . . finally! =8-/ — #31

I just did a 720p movie trailer from apple and my Dual G4 with 1GB of ram is chugging, it's dropping frames all over the place. Quicktime says between 4 and 8 frames per second.

ADC breaks out to DVI pretty cheaply, because it carries the same video signal and the adaptor just ignores the extra power/sound/usb pins. (does ADC actually have sound?) Once you…

No, the Rage 128 can't drive two monitors simultaneously. Plus, it doesn't support Quartz Extreme (the acceleration you mentioned earlier). Pretty much anything else will do X (a…
