I ordered two 20" LCD displays from Dell. Each display (2005FPW) has a resolution of 1680 x 1050 (same as the Apple 20"). Can my Rev. A G5 with a Radeon 9600 Pro run both monitors simultaneously? I plan on using an ADC to DVI adapter for one of the displays. Thanks.

I have a rev. A dual 2.0 Ghz (wonderful machine), and it easily supports two large monitors. I've curently got a new 23" Apple Cinema display (1920x1200) and a Formac 20" Gallery Platinum (1600x1200). Both at millions of colours.

My Rev A. dual G5 2.0 (no comment) is usually hooked up to a 21" Sony CRT and 19" Sony CRT and I run both at 1600x1200.

I've also run the 21" at 2048xsomething.

It's really depends on the video card, not the computer...
