[G4] Dual Display Video Card for VGA monitors

[Goldberg, Franck (x2187)]

Do I understand this correctly: If I keep the GE Force 2MX, and install an
ATI Radeon in the PCI slot, I will have dual monitor display - not only
mirroring but desktop extension as well- from the Monitor control panel in
X?
Thanks.

You don't have many choices in the Mac world for PCI video cards. Right  
now the only retail card available that I know of is the ATI Radeon  
7000. The Radeon Mac Edition PCI was more powerful in both 2D and 3D,  
but I don't know if it is selling at retail anymore. The rest of ATI's  
cards are AGP. Unless you want to go through a lot of ROM-flashing  
gyrations there are no NVidia PCI cards for the Mac. Formac made the  
ProFormance III, but I don't think there are any OS X drivers. It is no  
longer at retail, either. I would recommend trying eBay for the Radeon  
Mac Edition.
