which G4 is which?

AGP capable Macintosh required to use this card. To use the ADC connector, you must have a Power Macintosh Gigabit Ethernet or later system. AGP based "Sawtooth" machines do not have the physical logic board connection for the 28v output required. The DVI port will still function normally in all AGP systems

So your saying you have a ADC monitor connected to this PowerMac?

Is it an Apple display? So the monitor itself doesn't have a power cord just one cord coming off of it that connects to the computer?

Don't worry about it. It's a Sawtooth end of story. If it were a later model it would have a higher CPU speed. If it has a video card in it that supports AGP then that's great.

the sawtooth only has 2x agp though. just a small step up from the 66mhz pci graphics slot in blue and white G3 and yikes G4. 66mhz pci graphics is essentially agp 1x. you can get better video cards for agp 2x though. the radeon 7000 was the only choice I had as its the only currently produced pci video card for mac but at least it supports dual monitors.

Yeah, any current retail AGP video card will work in an AGP 2x slot. I would just get an ATI9000 as anything faster would be a waste since it would be saturating the 2x AGP bus.
