I keep seeing people having issues w/ different cards & such...

I have three displays connected to my G4 533Mhz utilizing a GeForceTi running two and an ATI Radeon running a third.

Currently, QuartzExtreme is enabled and I get all the nifty little bells & whistles like drop-shadowed cursor and crossfaded desftop images etc.

Am I gonna have issues with these cards since they weren't Apple-Installed cards...? I see that SOME people are running multiple monitors with no problems, but others are running into issues with video cards that are supposed to be supported...

I have no idea what to expect with this install... UGH!

I don't wanna drop-back to two monitors, or even worse... ONE again.

As always, nothing is perfect. I wouldn't expect any problems, but nothing is perfect. Try installing it on an extra volume first (or a firewire hard drive).
