3 Displays

[localdis]

I have a G4 quicksilver running 2 displays. Well this sounds good but still i get too cluttered and I decided that I need a 3rd screen. I just wanted to know if this is possible if I just get a new graphic card? Or what do I need

Just grab a PCI video card and pop it in there.

As long as you have a free slot, and another compatible graphics card, you can add your third monitor.
(technically, you can have as many monitors as there are free slots.)

yes, this is possible. but it also helps to have a third eye to watch your third screen. youll have to post pics of your set up once you have 3 monitors, that just sounds fun/cool.

So its just kinda plug and play?

 

[edesignuk]

Should be. Plug it in, OS X will detect it and set it up, when you go in to your displays prefs you should see all 3 screens.

Duff-Man says...when I had my Dual 800 Quicksilver I ran 3 monitors for a couple days just to try it out. I had gotten a pci radeon card to replace the rage128 one and as I also happened to have someone's monitor here at the time I just couldn't resist trying it out with all three running. Yes, it works just fine, all plug and play, you should have absolutely no problem with it......oh yeah!

Wow, we'll definitely need to request pics of your setup. Sounds like a good time. 🙂

What kind of work are you doing that you need 3 screens? 😎

I would spring for a 30" Cinema Display. You could fit about 8 DVD player screens at one time without overlap. You actually have to move your head in order to see from corner to corner.
