I have a G5 single 1.8 MHz machine and I currently have a 19 inch CRT connected. Can I attach a DVI LCD to it as well and run both monitors or would I need another video card?

I think it came with a DVI and an ADC port. I think the current monitor is connected with a DVI-VGA adaptor. To connect both I guess I would also need an ADC-DVI adaptor.

Yes, all video cards shipped in a G5 support two monitors.

Yes, these should be about US$25-$30

Or get an ADC-VGA adapter so that the DVI display won't have to use an adapter. Less adapters = good.

Yep. Good advice. My findings concur with tooki's.
