I was hoping someone has had previous experience in this:

I want to know if I connect two Sony 21" VGA Displays to my G4 1.25 Dual 64 MB Video Card, one with the supplied Apple DVI-VGA connector and the other with an ADC-VGA (Dr Bott) connector, will there be any major lags in performance? (when editing in Final Cut Express, Photoshop and playing a DVD)

Or is the better option to add another Video Card - prefer not to do this if it doesn't warrant it?

Your feedback is appreciated....

Thanks

I think we already had a question and thread like this and the answer came up no there will be no performance hit. There are few people with this setup already.

Thanks for the link - although they are discussing G5s, I was hoping for some information on the G4. I guess it would be ok to assume that the solution would work ?
