I am considering to replace my 17" Studio Display with a 23" ACD for my PowerMac G4 1.25GHz. I am wondering if I'll need to also change video card. I have an ATI Radeon 9000 Pro.

What do you think?

Since your ATI 9000 Pro has both ADC and DVI ports, and the new aluminium frame 23" Apple display runs via DVI you don't need to replace the card to use the new display. A different issue is if you think you need more graphic power. There is people that have upgraded the MDD with some ATI 9600 or / and 9800 vieo cards, mainly aimed to get Core Image support.

Nothing yet. I was waiting to see if they came out with any new models or lower prices at the Expo.
