Allow me to reiterate the "if it ain't broke..." adage. I have a MDD 867 running two monitors, an Apple Studio Display 21" off the built-in GeForce4 MX and an Optiquest 19" off an ATI Rage 128. When i was using OS X 10.2.3 I decided to install the ATI OS X drivers from the ATI webpage. Big mistake. Video performance on the Optiquest slowed to a crawl and there was no way to uninstall the drivers that I could figure out. It wasn't until I installed the OS X 10.2.4 upgrade which apparently overwrote the ATI drivers that everything went back to working well. Perhaps my experience is not typical. Good luck, John Wilson
