Summary: Not what I needed.
Review: I have a G4 500MHz (sawtooth) Mac that came originally with ATI Rage 128 Pro graphic card. I thought that I could get my Apple Cinema 20" Display to work connecting it to the ADC port on the 9000 Pro. But, I was disappointed to find that it did not work. I went on the internet and found that Radeon 9000Pro does not have enough power to work ADC enabled monitors when the card is installed in G4 macs older 500MHz or less (sawtooth and previous G4 models will not work.) I will have to buy an DVI to ADC convertor from Apple which costs a hundred dollars. That means I will have to use the DVI port on the 9000pro, leaving the ADC port useless = I cannot use dual monitors. I wish I knew before. Other than this problem, the card is fine.
