Quadra 700 With Strange Graphics Corruption

[Schafeman]

Hi all..  My Quadra 700 always had an issue with the onboard video.  You can see what looks like moving horizontal lines when viewing either a gray background or if you look carefully, the edges of certain elements on the screen (windows, icons and text if its larger).  It's not my LCD monitor as I use it with several other Mac's, including a Q950 and a PowerMac and its perfectly fine.  I will attempt to get a picture of it, but I'm wondering if anyway has heard of this before?  Computer works great, no strange issues or locking up, its more annoying.

You could have a bad stick of v-ram...

For anyone that was on the edge of their seat waiting for an answer!

It was just the adapter I was using between the monitor port and vga connector.  It worked fine with other macs, but the 700 didn’t like it.  Swapped with a brand new one I found sitting around and it’s crystal clear.
