Aug 18, 2011 11:22 AM in response to ipodmacdoodby BDAqua,Hello,
Only thing I can offer is to maybe check thhe voltages, especially the 25 VDC lines...

Oh, one more thing, in System Preferences>Displays, does show 2 monitors, does Detect Displys do anything?

Aug 18, 2011 11:59 AM in response to BDAquaby ipodmacdood,Thanks for the response, but I found out what happened. I did detect the displays and everything around that. I found out that there is another small peace sticking out of the card with metal connectors, but my Powermac's motherboard doesn't have the small connector for it (The motherboard doesn't support the card). So, now I need to drop 80$ on a power adapter and adc to dvi converter device. If you know of anywhere to buy the adc to dvi converter/adapter, please tell me. Thanks again for the responce.

Aug 18, 2011 12:39 PM in response to ipodmacdoodby BDAqua,Just a note to avoid any possible confusion, you don't want an ADC->DVI converter, you want a DVI->ADC converter that has it's own 25V power supply brick.
Wrong one...
Right one...
I don't think I've seen one lately go for less than $130...

In which case a new/better DVI Monitor may be the way to go.

Aug 18, 2011 12:46 PM in response to BDAquaby ipodmacdood,Thanks, I am definitely considering investing in one of these. If I use regrular adapter, basically it would just be converting the pin size and not powering anything because there is no power coming from the card in the first place. So, do you think it will be worth it to buy one of these? They are still expensive (80to130$ I have seen). Also, do you know of any cheaper alternatives or 3rd party brands? Thanks for the answer. I just bought the adc, and am very nostalgic lol about my Apple gear. I think that I will look into one though.
Thanks again

Aug 18, 2011 1:10 PM in response to ipodmacdoodby BDAqua,I think there were 2 other 3rd party brands, but they still go for lots of money, nobody makes them any more.
The 17" which I also have, has a resolutionn of 1280*1024, here's a 20" 1600*900 LCD for under $100...

Aug 18, 2011 2:14 PM in response to ipodmacdoodby Jon Smith,I think you should watch eBay and look for a 2002 Quicksilver - 933MHz or preferably dual 1 GHz - about $75 for the 933MHz or $100 for the dual 1GHz. Your hard drive and graphics card will interchange. The memory will not - it will need PC133 512MB non-ECC SDRAM and you should max it out at 1.5 GB. Your new monitor will work fine with its ADC connector and the Quicksilver motherboard, and you should live happily ever.
