I have a G4/400 and am considering keeping 2 15" flat panels(and have 2 ATI Rage 128 AGP Pros), but I only have 1 AGP slot. Is there a way for me to use both Flat panel monitors in the non-mirroring mode(extended desktop)?

If not, would anyone like to buy an almost new 15" flat panel w/ATI Rage 128 Pro card for $900 shipped?

it is possible, but you need the formac video card with the Digital monitor connector, it should be no problem to get and I saw the demonstration at macworld, it works wonderfully.

I was told by ForMac repeatedly that their cards do not support Apple's DVI connection...only SGI's. For this reason, we are now ordering VooDoo 5500 PCI cards for our customers.

You're implying Voodoo 5500's have DVI and they can verifiably work? I've heard a Hercules 2 card might work also.

The Voodoo 5's have an Apple DVI connector...I don't think you can have two ATI Rage 128 Pro's at the same time because G4's only have 1 AGP slot and the Rage 128 Pro is AGP only...
