I'd go for it.
Yes, I agree but only in respect to the general performance. The specific issue of looking at the screen in VGA or DVI, I doubt if anyone can tell the difference for screens 24" or less for normal operation. I bought this nice 24" and ran it on DVI for a while but my arrangement with a second monitor necessitated I use the VGA port instead. I was so reluctant to do this! But in fact it made absolutely no difference that I could tell! It is fine! But I did notice a nice jump in speed and other quality when I upgraded my graphics card. -- dorayme --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
