I am trying to find a suitable upgrade for my video card, it hasn't been too bad but it is having difficulty with games such as World of Warcraft and Everquest 2, bad framerates, we upgraded to 1.5 gb ram so that wasn't our problem. Looking at replacing the video card however with so many options we aren't sure what would be compatible.
Just a suggestion. Start by determining what you are willing to spend. Personally I have always been an Nvidia fan so I cannot advise you too well on the Radeon series. I also have the tendency to run "last years" card and do so for about an additional 3 years or so.
I would do some research on Tom's Hardware: http://www.tomshardware.com/us/#redir and look at review on sites such as Newegg. If you were going the Nvidia route and did not have a price ceiling I would suggest purchasing a card by BFG, and getting at least a Series 9. They have good support, and warranty even if the card is overclocked. They also slightly overclock their "off the shelf" cards.

After upgrading to Leopard, installing a 500 giga external drive for effortless time machine backups, and a 2.0 gb ram expansion to 2.5, this week I connected an outside monitor to my iMac (a 20 inch Samsung 2043 NWX with a pixel resolution of 1680 by 1050).
It works great. Here is the problem: As my iMac only has display mirroring capabilities (it does not have extended desktop that is available in later models), I cannot turn of the built in display, nor can I toggle between the two.
There is a third party patch that claims it gives my iMac extended desktop, but I do not like to install third party patches on my iMac. Heck, at this point I'm not even sure that with extended desktop I could turn the internal display off to begin with.
The native graphics support card is quite capable: ATI Radeon X600 Pro graphics processor using PCI-Express and a maximum resolution of 2048 by 1536 pixels. The status shows it is presently supporting two displays simultaneously: One at 1440 by 900 pixels (my native iMac display), and another of 1680 by 1050 (my 20 inch Samsung).
I tried dimming the display but the control is disabled whilst on video mirroring mode. I tried playing with the internal monitor set up but I cannot set the display to zero using this option either.
Let me know your thoughts please. Best regards, Roberto A. Lovato
