Hi all... I was just curious - with a Radeon 9200 Mac Edition installed, can I leave the stock card in and use *both* cards to run two VGA monitors? Also, with the said card, how many monitors total can the G3 support?
Yes you can leave the stock card in, but the 9200 can drive 2 displays and should be able to drive the 2 faster than the stock rage card. My advice would be to put the 9200 in the 66MHz pci slot and run two monitors off of that.
Then if you want, run the third monitor off of the stock card in another slot. You can then add 2 more 9200 to run a total of 7 monitors. FWIW, when the Mac II came out with 6 slots, they demo'd it with 6 monitors running off of it and ever since then, Macs have supported multiple monitors natively- just plug in the card(s) and go.
