Hi-
At work I have a G5 with the standard Video card that came with my machine. I use a Lacie 21" monitor here. I brought a 19" lacie from home and wanted to go dual at work. Obviously this is just a simple VGA connection I need to make. Can anyone recommend a good cheap video card for my G5 and my future "pallette" monitor? Thanks!

low end PCI Radeon does quite well.

I thought the G5 had dual monitor support out of the box. He is probably using the DVI to VGA adapter and would need a ADC to VGA adapter which may cost as much as a PCI video card.
