Hello-

Will an PCI-X ATI x600 video card work in a dual G5? I want to add a second display to my tower. Newegg has an AIW for $215 but it mentions nothing about mac support. I've searched the web for info but have found no answers yet. Just curious.

BTW- I'm aware the Nvidia 5200 in it already supports dual monitors but I want a TV/Gaming card to run a larger/second display.

The x600 is a PCI-E (PCI Express) video card not PCI-X. Power Macs don't have PCI-E slots, yet. Plus the x600 is not a Mac video card, at this point.
power mac g5 - dual 1.8ghz, 1.5gb, 250gb & 160gb, x800 xt, pioneer dvr-108, 10.4
