Why would an ADC monitor slow it down? AFAIK ADC is just as
functional as DVI. The down side of an ADC is cost (a guess on my
part, I haven't priced them out). Another thing is their limited
utility. You can only use one with video card that has an ADC
connector. VGA and DVI are far more widely supported.
Using both video ports on a card doesn't slow it down to my
knowledge. AGP as a higher throughput than PCI. PCI graphics cards
are not supported by Quartz Extreme. There is a fix to make Quartz
Extreme work on PCI cards but it disables QE for AGP cards.
Erm, get an ADC to DVI adaptor?
