I would like to add a second crt for work with photoshop files. I have a 533 DP and would like some recomendations for a display card to drive the second display.

I do not want to spend too much as this would be for the second display and I do not know how much longer I would keep the 533 DP.

Thanks for the sugestions

Does anyone have any opion on the ATI Radeon 9200 AGP card. I would replace the stock card that is inplace now.

Good or bad?

There is no Radeon 9200 AGP for the Mac... yet.

If you're looking for good dual-display capability at a good price, I'd recommend a 64MB GeForce 4MX card. You can find them on eBay in the Mac section fairly easily for under $100. I have one myself. It's performance is more than adequate for most needs, though I have never taken advantage of the dual-display capability. But I imagine it would be quite nice.

i have a Nvidia twin-view that i scored off ebay, that is an 4X AGP with ADC and VGA, i am running dual monitors, its not bad and works fine on my 2X AGP.

if you are going second card, look at ATI 7500, its an older card but cheap and well worth it (S video out)
