I have a 32MB PCI Radeon 7000 from OWC in my B&W G3 and have been using
without incident with two VGA monitors (using the included DVI-VGA
adapter) with OS X. The 7000 supports a myriad of display
configurations, I have one monitor at 1600 x 1200 and the other at 1024
x 768. You can even use an ADC display with an adapter!
Great card, I love it!
