New 20.1" requires Radeon 7500 or GeForce2MX?!
System Requirements from Apple's page"
"-Power Mac G4 with an NVIDIA GeForce2 MX, GeForce3, GeForce4 MX, or GeForce4 Titanium graphics card or ATI Radeon 7500, 9000 Pro, or 9700 Pro graphics card
? PowerBook G4 with a DVI port and an Apple DVI to ADC Adapter"
Does this mean I can't use this with my Cube that has the original Radeon card? Why is this a requirement? Resolution not supported? Video Memory (I have 32MB)? Something else? I have been waiting for this and now I can't by this monitor. It such a nice monitor and a great price.
I really want this monitor so I guess I need to update my graphics card to a Radeo 7500. I think that should work in the cube, any other suggestions?

I assume upgrading your card would work just fine. That's what I thought I would have to do for a minute....If I get one for work, that's what I would have to do too....
I can't wait to get my display!!!!

Also, a 22" for $1499 is the same price as a 20" for $1299 plus a $200 supported graphics card... but with the 20", you get more pixels and a faster graphics card. For the Cube, I'd suggest a GeForce 3 or a Radeon 7500.
