Apple computers seem to have some really nice displays. I'd like to to
get that level of display from a Windows PC.
I pulled up the Apple G5 towers and most of them use they use an NVIDIA
GeForce FX 5200 Ultra. That is a 128MB video card. It cost about
$120.00 on newegg. The top of the line G5 tower has an ATI Radeon 9600
XT. That is a 128MB card and costs about $209. The Apple 20 inch
display lists for $999.
If I go with one of these video cards and a digital flat panel monitor
what kind of results can I expect? Will my images be as crisp as what
I see in the Apple store? I'm not completely opposed to buying a Mac
but I'd really rather stick with a PC that I can tweak, fix and upgrade
myself.
