Re: ADC to DVI Adaptor
Trickster, Wow, G5 is certainly a different league than G4, also regarding graphic card prices! Then the best option (for little money) indeed seems to be the ADC adapter... Or, maybe, a PCI graphics card for the second screen, but those could also be expensive, if you want to make best use of the G5's PCI-X or PCI-X2 port. Here's an overview of G5 models and their cards: http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/faq/powermac-g5-adc-ports-dvi-ports-resolutions-supported.html -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Thanks for the link Ted. I currently have a 5200 in there... thoughts on an upgrade path?

But if you're not that tight, you could consider replacing the current AGP card by a better one. I don't know how good the factory-installed cards in the G5 are, but when I wanted to connect a DVI monitor to my Digital Audio (G4), I found that ADC-DVI adapters cost almost the same as upgrading to an ATI Radeon 9000 card having simultaneous ADC and DVI output.

My G5 has a 256MB 9650 in there:- The Mac's an early 2005 Dual 2.0 which I bought used, so I don't know if it was a BTO or after sale upgrade, but it does have 2 x DVD connectors (one is dual-link), no ADC or anything odd. There's a new one on ebay in Ireland, item #200538373020 but it's quite a price. Have a look at everymac:- http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/powermac_g5/index-powermac-g5.html which will show what was used in all the various options, and you should be able to find a good card on ebay or LEMSwap Ted On Nov 11, 6:27 am, Geke gevangaste...@googlemail.com wrote: You could also put in an extra (used) graphic card in a PCI slot.

Hi Everyone, Have a Powermac g5, running 10.5, 7 gigs of ram, 2x1B drives. Is my primary machine, and an upgrade just isnt in the cards at the moment.
