[MacDV] Re: Which video card on new G4?

[Shirley Kehr]

Thanks again. Turns out that Apple won't let you order a system if you
configure it with the 9700. So I decided to stick with the default 9000.
I went to ATI's web site and they don't mention anything about the 9700
on the Mac pages.

I'm really tempted to turn my old G4 back into an OS 9 (only) system if
I can get the networking to work easily. The thing I hate about Classic
is that my scroll wheel doesn't work. FrameMaker has no OS X option and
that's what I use for a monthly newsletter.

This way the new G4 can be dedicated to video and Photoshop.
