You will either need to purchase a Macintosh branded video card, or purchase a PC video card and flash the ROMs on the card to the mac versions(not for a beginner) There are a few video card options out there for macs.

First you will need to pop the case open and find out if you have the AGP, or PCI-E motherboard for your G5.

And yes if you do manage to find one you can just pop it in and replace the existing card and OS X will recognise it from the get-go.

Computing.Net cannot verify the validity of the statements made on this.

The problem Im having now is that I need a way to get a dual monitor setup to work with the computer.

The video card that came with the mac has DVI and ADC (Apple Display Connector).

I try and find a video card with two DVI port, not sure what else Id have to do.

The last option I can think of is to get a ADC adapter to connect that to the DVI on the monitor.

Lickily you dpmt need the far more wxpensive DVI to ADC adapter.

See japamacs page here on the best AGP cards for G4s G5s.

I know in the bottom of the computer when the side panel is taken off it says PCI-X.

Yeah so the different adapters is another thing thats confusing me.

Right now on Amazon they have some ADC to dvi or vga thing that I believe was made to make it so old apple panel displays could still be used.

What I think Ill need is an adapter that will fit with the ADC connector coming out of the video card.

Would an adapter work like that And will it be able to do a dual monitor setup The monitors are like 1650x 1050 but I dont know if the card that came with it can handle it.

Or is it possible that I would get another identical video card and then use two at a time.

I have zero how I would do that but I thought Id mention it.
