Sorry to hear that.

Lots of monitors come with these adaptors -- look for them. (My
machine actually has both a regular VGA and a Mac video out, and
my monitor (a Portrait Display Labs Pivot 1700, alas, wasted on
Linux) came with such an adaptor.)
DG> BTW, is it possible to add more memory to a Platinum chipset?
I'm sure it depends on the machine. I bought 3 1 MB video RAM
DIMMS for my PowerCenter when I ordered it, filling all the slots
on the motherboard and giving me a total of 4 MB of VRAM.
