It's a iMac G5. There's a hack to allow the video port to support
extended desktop mode and not just be mirrored. The hack works with
Leopard, Tiger and Classic.

The only Mac I ever had that was cutting edge was a 512K that I

a new Mac but what can it do that I can't do already? Or need to
to do?
I have a small network at home. A G5 iMac for web, email, etc., a
B&W that's tricked up (1GHz accelerator, max RAM, SCSI card, extra
hard drives, etc.) for Pro Tools and a 450MHz G3 iMac that I
bought at a yard sale for $10 that I use as a print server. They
all run Tiger though I have a Leopard partition on the G5 and can
boot the B&W into Tiger or OS9 depending on my needs. Both the G5
and the B&W run two displays. I also have a totally maxed out IIci
that would have cost $25K in 1990 that I use as a MIDI controller
for an old version of Performer for some vintage MIDI files that I
have. The IIci runs System 7.1 and has a Nubus (remember that?)
Ethernet card and is connected to the network so I can back it up.
I have $70 in the IIci.
I know someday I'll have to upgrade to Intel just as I had to
upgrade from OS9 a few years ago but for now everything is
working. As Bruce quoted the old axiom, "if it ain't broke, don't
fix it."

Lol, i thoink you mean PowerMac G5, not iMac. The only iMac to ever
have an expansion slot were the very first (Rev.A) tray-load
iMacs. Also, i run dual displays on my G3 B&W too, with an extra
rage 128.
