I have two "old" 15" apple flatscreens that I would like to connect to my newly aquired dual 2.5ghz G5. I am confused about the best/cheapest way to do this. Will the stock card do two monitors?

Its listed as:
ATI Radeon 9600 XT
in the profiler

I have the same video card in my PowerMac. It has 1 DVI connection and 1 ADC connection.

Those monitors have ADC connections so you will need to pick up an adapter for the DVI connection on the video card. These can run around $100.

I was worried that it might be two different connectors for the same "driver" in the card.

Thanks for the help.
