My G5 died a couple months ago which leaves me only with my MBP (see sig). Eventually I am planning on getting a iMac or a MacPro, most likely an iMac, next upgrade cycle.
However in the mean time, I have a nice large unused monitor on my desk, I play games and would like to use it. I've read this Apple Support Article and would like to know for those who do this is there any gotchas or things to look out for?
Is there any performance hit by running an external monitor?
Is there only one kind of cable to connect my MBP to the monitor?
Is a USB or a blue tooth keyboard better? I all ready have a USB keyboard. It's possible I'll be using both a Razer Naga and a Razer Nostromo and am concerned with available USB ports, although I do have a USB hub, my preference would be not to rely on it for this setup if possible. The USB Apple Keyboard has two USB ports although I have no idea if it would support both of the Razer devices. Would a blue tooth keyboard also offer USB connections and would it be able to handle two devices?
Thanks!
