More Newbie Questions!
« on: June 22, 2006, 03:38:26 PM »
Ok, so I posted earlier about having a mouse problem. I tried to fix it by opening the case to see what revision the A1200 was, in the process I ripped the thin ide cable. Now i'm out of luck. Can't really use my A1200 until my replacement harddrive comes in. In the meanwhile while i'm saving up for my Blizzard 1260, I have thought of some more questions.

1.) How can I increase graphics memory on the A1200?

2.) Will the Blizzard 1260 fit in the regular A1200 case or do I need a tower?

3.) What kind of resolutions can I run on the A1200? The manual doesn't seem to show anything over 800x600. I know i'm limited to 256 colors at a time, but is there a way to run at a higher resolution?

I'm going to kickback and wait for my parts to arrive. I ordered 3.1 ROMs, a new mouse,  a 4GB drive and the real ide cable for the A1200. Might take a few weeks since I ordered some parts from Germany and some from the UK.

Do I need a PCI expansion for a new video card?

Ok I was looking at the mediator actually. I'm planning on getting this case:






This case has an option for the mediator or G-Rex. Plus shipping won't kill me because it's in the USA.
