What are the options for adding a second display card to a dual g5? From what I've read, older 33 and 66 mhz cards do not work correctly with the PCI-X slots. Someone please correct me if this in wrong.

I thought the 8X AGP card in the G5 <i>was</i> a dual display card, just like every Power Mac shipped in the past half-decade or so.

It is a dual-display card, but I'm interesting in connecting a third display.

Dual 23" Cinema Displays grants you a resolution of 3840 x 1200. Surely you don't have a pr0n addiction that requires THREE displays.

One cinema display is roughly 1/6th of a metre squared. So, why do you need THREE displays, or half a metre squared, for your computer?

Cinema displays are very expensive. It's sometimes cheaper to get 3 or 4 17" panels.

Most older PCI cards will work.
