I am using a mac//si it has an adapter for vga that goes directly from the video on the mac to vga no switches all of my monitors have the vga cord. Also the lines are on the whole screen just more noticable on windows and such. and taking out nad putting the ram back in doesnt help. If i do put in a new video card where can i get one and could i get a higher resolution.
