I forgot to mention that one of the Apple Studio Displays 17" is the older model [blue and white (which I think is VGA), and of the second Apple Studio Displays 17" is one of the newer ones (graphite and white). Since there does not seem a way to hook both displays to one card, is it possible to use two video cards in the Power Mac G4 500?

Yup, all you need is a second video card to go into a PCI slot. They tend to be slighlty pricey though. The last one I saw that had PCI was the ATI Radeon 8500. About $125 or so too...

Also, you might want to delete or edit the second post before you get some major flac.
