Will the dual monitor feature work with every G4 Powerbook or iBook

[Ken]

I am going to purchase a new laptop later this summer. I
plan to use Powerpoint 2004 to make presentations with a
projector at settlement conferences and jury trials. I
don't yet have Office 2004 for the mac, but the powerpoint
that comes with Office XP has a feature called "presenter
view" in which you can view all your slides and notes on a
laptop monitor and send a selected slide out to a second
monitor or projector. I believe that Powerpoint 2004 for
the Mac has the same feature, but does it work with any G4
laptop?

Thanks

Ken

Hi,

I tried to find the official system requirements on Mactopia but I'm sleepy
and didn't find the right away.

The answer is no - not every single powerbook will be able to use presenter
view. My 500 mhz tiBook does not have enough video RAM to handle presenter
view. I don't know what the minimum requirement is, though.
