[QUOTE="twitchymike@mac, post: 1259092, member: 15927"] [b]G4 Headless[/b] I've been making use of my MDD G4 as a file server and for streaming media. I use screen sharing to do any occasional admin - generally all it has are a kettle lead and ethernet. There is no monitor attached. It's full of disks, RAM, and the best AGP card I found, years ago. One thing I don't like is the noise the graphics card makes. I'd like to get rid of that and put the original card back, which would be silent, with no fan on it. No monitor needed, but when I screen share (vnc) would that reduce the performance? I get a great desktop view remotely, but does it require the good card to produce that? This is transferred over LAN. Anyone know if the card is used for that? [/QUOTE]
