[Cube] old vs new 23" ACD's

[George Pepper]

 Things that make you go "Hmmm."

I use the Apple DVI to ADC converter on my Xserve because I added a Radeon 8500 Pro Mac Edition graphics card to it.  One of those new 30" monitors would work perfectly on it (Probably need a firmware zap to recognize the 30's resolution).

Hmmmmm. ;^)
