I know this has been answered a thousand times and since I've never owned an apple and just got one off ebay, wanna try and get everything ready for when it arrives, which means having a monitor. I got the G4 DP 800mhz. I think it's quicksilver, well it has to be right, I think the DP800 only came as a quicksilver. Anyways, I saw this: apple to VGA (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=25436&item=5113835285&rd=1) on ebay and think it migth work, but not exactly sure. I have two pretty old monitors for my PC's and won;t have money to throw down for a decent apple screen for a few months.

Any suggestions/direction would be wonderful...

You might need a DVI -> VGA adapter, but you definitely won't need the one you linked, they're ancient!

You may not need an adapter, it may have a VGA port on the back... MNVIDGF2/A 32MB Geforce 2 MX Graphics Card (ADC/VGA) Apple
