I have a Power Tower Pro 225 with a IMS Twin Turbo 128. Can anyone tell me how I can tell if it has 4 or 8 megs of video memory on board?
Look under your apple menu for System Profiler. One of the tabs along the top of the first window will list devices attached to your PTP. The video card should be listed there. If you click on it, a drop down detail will tell you the vram on the card. Also can anyone tell me which they think the best Video upgrade card would be? That's easy - there is only one. Radeon 7000 is the only current PCI based video card. I'd suggest leaving your old card in as well and setting up two monitors. You can easily do that under monitor settings once the new monitor is attached. Set it up so your old monitor and vid card has all of your tool pallets, and the new card shows your video. You could pick up a smaller monitor for cheap these days, and by using two, your video will be larger than if you only used one (if you take into account the space required to show tools, harddrives, etc). - Drew -- Power Computing is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... 123Inkjets.com <http://lowendmac.com/ad/123inkjets.html> Support Low End Mac <http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html> Power Computing list info: <http://lowendmac.com/power/list.html> --> AOL users, remove "mailto:" Send list messages to: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To unsubscribe, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For digest mode, email: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subscription questions: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> List archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/powercomputing%40mail.maclaunch.com/> --------------------------------------------------------------- >The Think Different Store http://www.ThinkDifferentStore.com ---------------------------------------------------------------
