My father in law has a 17" imac with a bad video card. Display still works, but graphics look like old 256 monitors + artifacts. Not yet willing to buy a new computer. Would a USB > DVI video adapter work with an external monitor, or are these driven by the system's video cards and display the same result? Thanks.

I'm pretty sure you wouldn't get good results, but it's worth a try if you need it.

OWC has a couple of USB video cards, but only intel drivers for them. You could email OWC, asking if they have universal drivers in development.

Those are the ones I was looking at. Didn't read the fine print. Whoops. Nevermind, then. Thanks.
