Check with a knowledgeable source like http:// > www.smalldog.com or perhaps OWC (http://www.macsales.com). My gigabit ethernet at home has an ATI Rage 128 in it. I'm not sure about the amount of VRAM. I've got a Samsung Syncmaster 213T hooked up to it via the VGA port (the card also has an ADC connector, but no DVI), and it drives that monitor at 1600x1200. I didn't do anything special to enable that mode, so I guess I'm not much help, but the card should be able to handle it. -- Rich
