Do I get another ATI Radeo 9000 PRO card?
I'm assuming the Apple display is ADC. If it is, AFAIK, that would preclude running two off the same computer. Only the AGP slot has the power that is used to run the monitor and there is only one AGP slot and only one ADC port on any card. You are going to have to use a VGA or DVI monitor as the second monitor, depending on what the other port on your video card is (probably VGA). There is one option, this: <http://www.cdw.com/shop/products/default.aspx?EDC=532575> It lets you hook up an ADC monitor to a DVI port. It seems to include a power supply but the description isn't clear. Note, this item is simply one that came up on a Google search of "ADC DVI adapter". There are likely others to consider. Personally I wouldn't use this approach. The sucker costs $120 which is around the cost of a 17" monitor. I'd just get a 17" or so LCD monitor with a VGA interface. I recently bought a refurbished 20" LCD monitor with DVI, VGA, Composite and S-Video inputs for about $100. It does have 3 pixels stuck on black, all next to each other on a corner. -- Clark Martin Redwood City, CA, USA Macintosh / Internet Consulting "I'm a designated driver on the Information Super Highway" --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed Low End Mac's G3-5 List, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
