Greetings!
I need help. I have a g5 1.8GHz, one of the first g5s that came out. I have an unusual situation. I have the computer with one 19" View Sonic monitor in my office downstairs where I meet with clients, and then I have run cords upstairs to my bedroom where I work on another 19" View Sonic monitor (office does not have natural sunlight, while upstairs does). The monitors are mirrored and work great. I have had this set up for a few years but want to move to a larger 30" Apple monitor upstairs. I am running 10.4.11 and have a GeForce FX 5200, with VRAM (total 64MB).

1. I know I need a graphics card, not sure which one so any help here I would appreciate.

2. What about monitor cords. Will it be easy to get a longer cord for the 30"?

3. Is there any other hazards that you can foresee coming my way?

Thanks for any advice you can pass on!
