G5 2.5Ghz Graphics. ADC woes!!!

    I just picked up a used 2.5Ghz G5. Very nice it is too, I can't afford to upgrade my process cards so I'm sticking with PCI-X for the moment...

    Anyway, I set the system up and decided to get some new screens too. However my problem now is that I don't have an ADC to VGA connector to plug the second monitor in. Anybody know where I'd get one? Or suggest a cheap replacement card for the rig.

    Thanks.

    hens teeth! Anybody suggest a decent graphics card? I'm not too sure of the spec of the type of card I need other than it's an AGP.

    need more information about the computer.

    is it a dual processor 2.5ghz or a dual core 2.5ghz?

    As for AGP cards --- i believe the only dual DVI card is the Nvidia 6800 Ultra....but this is rare and viciously expensive. *edit* .... have a look for a Radeon 9600 Pro PC & Mac edition.

    I have 6800 Ultra lying around but it's prone to the odd artefact when pushed hard. I've even installed a 3rd party cooler to try alleviate it, but it'll still act funny.

    You can have it if you like!

    You could also look for a flashed x800 xt......careful though - the flashed ones tend to only be dual VGAs
