lazyweb, lazyweb, bake me a cake: MacOSX and Dell 24" Widescreen Monitors

[rwx]

Dear Lazyweb,

I'm trying to find out what macintoshes can drive a Dell 24" widescreen monitor. I'm wondering about my powerbook incidentally, but I'm actually looking into this for someone who's thinking of buying a mini or a small powerbook/ibook.

my powerbook's a 1.5ghz PowerBook with a GeForce FX Go5200 64MB video card. I think this is the current spec for a 12" pb video card if this helps.

You don't say.

What's the point of a $1000 montior on a $500 machine? Media station?

I expect this table will help:

Interesting tag.

My MDD G4 has a dual-port Radeon 9000. One port is ADC, the other DVI. It came with a DVI-VGA adapter dongle. MacOS supports dual-head operation in this configuration; YDL does not.

The external display connector on my PowerBook (aluminum, 12") is some sort of weirdass beast I've never seen for it. I have two dongles that fit it: one terminates in an ADC, the other in VGA.

Wikipedia says that ADC has DVI signals in it, if you can find a dongle to break them out.
