Hi there,
I'm about to get a Power Mac G4 for free, so I think I'm set to jump on the MorphOS bandwagon.  To be more specific what I'm getting is the innards - it comes from a fella who wants to use the case for some sort of crazy project, so I'm getting the mobo, graphics card, RAM and PSU. The parts have been a bit hard to identify, but I finally got access to the case which happens to be the Mirrored Drive Doors model and on the back it says Model no. M8570 , from which I assume it is supported, but the graphics card isn't clearly marked. Can I assume it is ATI in that model range? If not can I just pick up any of the MorphOS supported cards provided it's AGP? I'm also curious if those cards will support 16:9 LCD screens.
Also I could use some advice about the RAM modules I should look for should I try to upgrade that.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions. :)
