video card support
HI ALL,
I’VE GOT A FCP-HD QUESTION. I WANT TO BUY A DUAL DISPLAY CARD FOR MY G4 TO GIVE ME SOME MORE WORKING SPACE ON THE DESK TOP. IVE SEEN A FEW CARDS, SOME ARE AGP (LIKE THE SINGLE DISPLAY CARD CURRENTLY IN MY MACHINE) AND SOME ARE PCI TYPE CARDS. I’VE BEEN TOLD THOUGH THAT PCI CARDS ARE NOT SUPPORTED BY FCP. DOES ANYONE KNOW, IS THIS TRUE? IF SO, I WILL LIMIT MY SEARCH TO AGP TYPE CARDS ONLY. THANKS FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE.
CHEERS, BROCK

Are you sure it’s single display model? I have an old Dual 533 and even it has a dual display card in it.

HI WALTER
YES, IT IS ODD, BUT DEFINATELY ONLY ONE OUTPUT ON THE AGP CARD. I BOUGHT THE MACHINE USED, SO MAYBE SOMEONE PREVIOUSLY SWAPPED IT OUT. IT’S ONLY A 32MB CARD TOO, SO I WAS AFTER SOMETHING THAT COULD PROCESS VIDEO FASTER. I FOUND AN ATI BRAND 128MB DUAL PCI CARD FOR A MAC – BUT AS I MENTIONED IN THE LAST POST I WAS UNSURE IF FCP CAN SUPPORT PCI VIDEO CARDS.
CHEERS, BROCK
