Hello Everyone,

I'm planning to order my first Mac today, one of the new single processor 1.8 G5's. I'm going to upgrade the video card to the 9600 XT. I already have an older 21 inch CRT I plan to keep.

My questions is, does the machine come with an adapter to use my VGA monitor, or do I need to order the DVI to VGA adapter listed on the extras page when placing the order?

Thanks! -Paul

As indicated on the Spec Sheet ( http://www.apple.com/powermac/specs.html ) you'll see under Hardware Accessories, everything that comes with the Power Mac G5: "Apple Keyboard, Apple Mouse, USB keyboard extension cable, DVI to VGA adapter, modem cable, AirPort antenna".

Ok, I hadn't even been to that page. The store page doesn't clearly state that the accessories it list are included. I just didn't want to get it and not be able to turn it on, I would have been heartbroken Thanks!
