It depends as the lastest 30inch Displays need a NVIDIA GeForce 6800, at least you'll need a graphics card with 2 DVI-ADC adapter ports
-------------------- G5, Dual 2.0Ghz, 2Gb RAM, 250Gb HD
G3 B&W, 350Mhz, 512Mb RAM, 8Gb HD Silicon Memory Clearlight 80Gb, Triton Extreme Logic Pro 7, Reason 2.5, Pro Tools LE, Live 4 |

All you need is an adaptor, the card in the G5's are dual monitor ready.
check the Apple site for details.

Check out which combinations of types of screen your card will support.
Also - be warned - running more than one screen can interfere with your sound card - although all I had to do was my card away from the video slot. -------------------- Dual 2GHz PowerPC G5 / 2 x 19" Formac Monitors / Hammerfall Digi 9652 / Mackie d8b / 2.5 gig RAM
iMac G5 1.8 17" / M-Audio 1814 Firewire / Tascam TM-D1000 / 2 gig RAM Lacie Firewire Drives Logic Pro 7 / NI Battery - Guitar Rig - B4 / GMedia MTron / Crystal / LinPlug RMIV / OSX 10.3.6 |
