[G4] 12" Apple Performa CRT on a G4/1ghz MP???

[Mel Krewall]

Apple KB http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=112518 shows 
that the 12" RGB display is a single-frequency display at 512x384, and 
vertical sync of 60.15 Hz. It was probably made for a specific on-board 
video circuit. The 14" Performa Display shows 640x480 at 66.7 Hz, if 
that is your display. My GeForce 4 Ti has 60 and 67 Hz settings, so 
maybe your GeForce 4 MX could sync to them. I don't know how exact it 
has to be. You can try to get the old Twin Turbo also, who know what 
frequencies it might support.
HTH,
Mel
