I built the mezzanine-PCI mechanical adaptor I was talking about and tried it with a PCI Voodoo 5, connected to an external PC monitor. I took care to enable the Monitors Control Panel and started the iMac/A. Guess what? After installing the Voodoo Mac drivers and rebooting, I suddenly had a double-wide desktop! Immediately I turned to Unreal and my jaw dropped at the ... I don't know, it must have been 1000fps at 10000x10000 resolution. Absolutely religious

p.s. Did I start with "I had a dream last night"?
