New PowerMacs graphics card ready for 24 inch display

The main problem with a 24 inch display was that DVI is not supposed to support displays larger than 1600x1024, the current Cinema display size. But from the specs on the Apple web site, it looks like we will soon see a 1920 by 1200 display (like the 24 inch Samsung one)



Â?Â*ATI Radeon 7500 graphics card with 32MB of DDR SDRAM and ADC and VGA connectors; supports digital resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels and analog resolutions up to 2048 by 1536 pixels

Â?Â*NVIDIA GeForce4 MX graphics card with 64MB of DDR SDRAM and ADC and VGA connectors; supports digital and analog resolutions up to 1920 by 1200 pixels

    that's odd because I remember there being a bandwidth problem with ADC

    There is no bandwidth problem with DVI. The spec's PDF states that it goes up to 2048x1536 when driving a CRT and uses about a third less bandwidth to drive an LCD at the same res.



    There may however be a power-supply problem with ADC. Perhaps it can't deliver significantly more juice than it currently does. However, I don't think Apple would be that short sighted.
