Updating my G-4 466 DA . . . finally! =8-/ — #19

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…

Dual displays is weird. For instance I have a GeForce 3 64MB that came with my DA back in the day, it has SVGA and ADC outs but will only drive one at a time. As alk mentioned th…

I don't think so, the GeForce2MX came out a year or two later I believe and it didn't even do that. So I'm not entirely sure the 128 even could.

The stock video card in a Digital Audio is a Rage 128 which should have a VGA port and an ADC port. If you have an ADC->DVI adapter (such as the one made by Belkin) and a D…

Huh? Obviously one shouldn't expect to play 1080p video on any G4, nevermind a 466MHz one with a Rage 128 video card. I didn't get the impression that was what Trash80 was planni…

well honestly the default video card will probably be fine. if it can push 1600x1200 then 1368x768 will hardly be a stretch for it. But if you do want to upgrade you are unfortun…

I believe refresh rate is a term for CRT's, as the electron gun must hit every phosphor every so often to "refresh" it so it doesn't fade out. I suspect flat panel technology uses…
