So I'm taking my brothers old Powermac G4 to college next Sept. It's already got the max 1.5gb of ram, and it works perfectly fine. The problem is that it won't work with my Toshiba TV's PC hookup, or my old dell flat panel monitor. It only works on a big ol' Sony CRT monitor. Anybody know what I can do?

Have you tried swapping the video card?

Unless you have the first Powermac G4, you should be able to use any of these AGP video cards.

What are specs on your G4?
