Hi guys,

Is it possible to have dual monitor support on a Power Mac 450 with the ATI Rage 128 Pro card that come in it? If so, how?

Thanks,
Matt

No, the ATI Rage128 (Pro) does not support dual monitor setups. In order to do so, you need a new card.

You could get a secondary PCI card, but other than that you'd have to get a new one.
