I have an Powerbook G4, the model exactly previous the new dual-core powerbook was released, with 15'' display and an ATI Mobility Radeon 9700 (Chipset ATY, RV 360M11 and 128 MB VRAM).

Is there any possibility through wich I can adapt a Studio Display( Model Number M7649) (from an G4 Power Station) to this powerbook through the DVI connector?

The powerbook display is ok but that G4 Studio Display has 17'' and is very good.


Also, what do I need to connect a Studio Display (like the one mentioned upwords) to a 12'' Powerbook that does not have a DVI connector?

Thank you

DVI to ADC adaptor, to connect your Studio Display to a DVI connection
$99

To get your monitor to connect to a Powerbook 12", which, if I'm right, has a Mini-DVI connection, you would need something like this $19 adaptor to convert the DVI to Mini-DVI, in addition to the adaptor above, although the customer reviews for this seem fine for iMacs and not so good for Powerbook 12" so there may be another (Non-Apple) adaptor which would work with your Mac.

Look after my manor, or I will bum you, literally, to death.

Thank you very much, but could you please place the links again because it says that the session has expired and I can't see the product at all.

Just search the apple store and you'll find it. If we post a link from the apple store it will time out.
