Louie, Apple has been improving their 3rd party flatscreen monitor support since they started including video cards with DVI-I connectors such as the GeForce 4 and ATI Radeon 9000. Granted, there's probably no flatscreen out there better than Apple's 23" HD Cinema Display, but you can find 15" and 17" flatscreens that are more affordable than Apple's. I recommend the ATI card, it looks like Apple only uses the MX line of cards from nVidia, which are severely cut down in 3D graphics features. iTools (renamed .Mac) really just isn't all that useful except for freeware downloads, but you can find all the same stuff out on the web it's just not as convenient as having a .Mac account. -- Matt ----- Original Message ----- From: "Louie Angulo" <laab2000us@yahoo.com> To: <Loopers-Delight@loopers-delight.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 10, 2002 11:33 AM Subject: Apple issues > You guys are slowly convincing me to buy a mac! > I did work with G4´s a while back but they weren´t > crash free, but with windows ME i tell you i am > loosing hair and the few left turning gray! > I ve heard XP is better but my soundcard is having > major issues with its drivers for it... > So now that we are on the subject how compatible are > Macs with all of the the new flat monitors? do they > have to be from apple as well?
