By adapter, I meant a little box (about 1.5"x1.5"), aka a dongle, that converts an old-style Mac monitor port (DB-15) to an SVGA port. I've never seen one of these cards, but my guess is that it already had an SVGA port. However, if there's a little box attached to the video card out the back, where you plug your monitor in, that's where the switches might be. If the monitor plugs straight in, then obviously that's not an issue. On 09 Dec 2002 09:00:49 -0500 Ludwig <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Non-multisync monitors work fine on Macs. I think you're right that a 640x480 @ 60Hz monitor should be supported, but I've never tried it. (Most Mac fixed-frequency monitors ran at 66.7 Hz, so the aforementioned may not be a supported mode after all.) > Have you tried resetting the PRAM?

Good idea! (I was just going to suggest it. :-) ) If you can make it through the monitor issue, Leandro, this computer will work quite well with Debian. Not sure if the second processor is supported, but if it is, it should be an alright system. Good luck! -- Michael
