Okay I googled the ATY Rage 28 Pro and it says resolutions up to 1920 x 1440. I also found out that this was standard video card for the Sawtooth. I didn't know I had a Sawtooth until now. I have 2 connectors so how do you differentiate between ADC and DVI. Mine had 10 pins across and 3 down. On May 11, 2010, at 4:08:30 AM, "Clark Martin" <cm...@sonic.net> wrote:

That will tell you which card it is. That is iffy at best. For some reason PCI card manufacturers don't seem to want to mark their cards. Some cards are identified but most aren't directly. Sometimes you can tell if you know what to look for. > You can also go into "About This Mac" , then "More Info", then click on > the "Devices and Volumes" tab. This is a better method. That depends on the OS Version. If it's Leopard at least you can click on Graphics / Displays under Hardware and usually get more direct info (it will tell you what model of card by name). > That will list all the cards you have in your Mac. > Mine is > Slot-2 > Card Type display > Card Name ATY,BlueStar > Card Model ATY,RV100 > Vendor ID 1002 > Device ID 5159 > ROM# 113-85505-110 > Revision 0 > Card (Video) Memory 32 MB > > which is basically an ATI Radeon 7000 32mb card If you still don't know what card you have at this point plug the Vendor ID and Device ID into a Google search (the two 4 digit numbers with a space in between) and see what pops up. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" -- 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.
