Adding a third monitor to G5 2.5 DP?

Hi everyone,

Has anyone solved this problem yet? I'd like to add a third monitor to my G5 music workstation (I'm thinking some sort of touch screen, like a Planar 15", or even one of those 9" little car touch-screen displays). In order to accomplish this, however, I need a third video port for my G5.

Seems to me like the way to do that would be to find a PCI-X graphics card. They don't exactly seem to be in abundant supply, though. Anyone know of any?

I have not heard of any. I thought there were regular PCI video cards that were OS X compatible. One of those should work.

Are G5 2.5 DPs backwards compatible with regular PCI cards?

PCI-X is backwards compatible with PCI
Look for a Radeon Mac PCI card and you're laughing

PCI-e is the incompatible one.

So if I add this to my system, in addition to the two monitors I'm powering from my AGP 8x card, I'll be able to add on two more monitors for a total of FOUR?

I'll be laughing indeed!

Thanks, everyone!
