Greets!!
The Rage 128 that came with my B&Ws have a VGA connector, and 16Mb
VRAM. It is capable (at least with the Apple 17" studio display) of
1600x1024 res at 24M colors without any hassle.
OTOH, most mac-vga adapter do have that limitation. Do you know if the
color quality is poor or if it is performing full video quality and
just low screen res?
The Displays panel shows Millions of colors. She has not complained
about the colors. I am pretty sure the only problem is the low screen
resolution
I am also aware that upgrading her video card is almost trivial (10-15
for a rage 128 or 30 for a radeon 7000 that I can flash and use the pci
extreme hack), but her requirements are pretty basic and she won't miss
the eye candy.
It just struck me, maybe there is a Mac to vga adapter on the card
that she did not tell me about and that has a 640 x 480 limit. She
might not have realized that there is one when she told me how many
rows of pins were where the monitor plugs in.
Did the older Rage Pro cards have a VGA or Mac video connector on
them?
