You need at least a PowerMac G4 with AGP graphics and at least a ATI 7500 or higher or GeForce 2MX or higher.

Any geforce 2mx/radeon 7000 and up should be able to handle a cinema HD

Any radeon pro (cube time) or higher can handle the original cinema/cinema 20"
In a realm beyond site, the sky shines gold, not blue, there the Triforce's might makes mortal dreams come true.

Well....the original Radeon doesn't work with the 20" but works with the old 22"
MacPro 2.66, 5GB RAM, 250GB + 160GB HDs, 23" Cinema Display
MacBook Pro 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM (from work)
MacBook (White) 1.83GHz, 2GB RAM

a 20" cinema display is good enough, right? (For me in case.. if you don't like it.. PM me)

Nice to see a thread being bumped like this
