Hello all-

I have a Powermac G4 with a Radeon 9600 (G5 edition with 64MB RAM) that I wanted to use as a media hub for an HD television. The card has a VGA and DVI out. I wanted to connect the Dell 19" LCD that I currently have to the VGA out and the 1080p set to the DVI out. Will the card be sufficiently powerful enough to drive both?

According to this site, Radeon™ 9600 PRO Power Mac G5 Edition, the card supports a max res of 1920x1200 (which is beyond 1080p...or perhaps right on since the aspect ratio isn't 16:9...who knows?) out of DVI out. But it doesn't say if I can power one monitor via VGA @ 1280x1024 and another via DVI at 1920x1080.

Any ideas?

EDIT: I would like to run the monitors in a non-mirrored config.
