hi

I have a Powermac g5 Dual 1.8gz

I'm currently running two Apple Studio Display 21' CRT Monitors

They really take up a lot of space so i think it's time for an upgrade

Will the original Apple Cinema Display work with the g5? the one in the acryllic casing?

I don't know if my G5 has a DVI Port & ADC Port or two Dvi ports

all i know is that I have two VGA Convertors that my CRT Studio Displays are running off

any ideas ?

By default, that model has a Geforce FX 5200 Ultra with one ADC and one DVI port, so if you've kept the original card, that's what you have. Every Cinema Display before 2008 uses either ADC or DVI, so if you use the original graphics card, it should work.
The new Mac Pro has up to 30 MB of cache inside the processor itself. That's more than the HD in my first Mac. Somehow I'm still running out of space.
