I currently use a G4 400mhz with a Radeon 9800 running my main 19" screen, and an old ATI PCI card to drive my little 15" side-screen. I could never work out what adaptors I needed for the Radeon to drive 2 VGA screens so I stuck the old ATI card in.

If I buy a new G5 Dual 2ghz with the Radeon option, can I connect 2 standard VGA 15 pin monitors to it? What adaptors would I need to do this? My old ATI card obviously won't work in the G5 so that's no help.

My gut feeling is that it's not possible - any help appreciated.

Its 100% possible to do it on either card (easily)...

On the card you have now, you need a DVI to VGA adapter. The card came with one I believe. This will let you run two VGA monitors off your single Radeon 9800.

For the Apple OEM cards, you'll need one DVI to VGA connector, and one ADC to VGA connector. The G5s come with a DVI to VGA adapter, and you can easily purchase an ADC to VGA connector.

Thanks for the advice. I assume this is what I need?
