    Well....does your video card have dual outputs? What are they? What "PowerMac G4" do you have? There are many variations.

    If you want help, give some information :rolleyes:

    Or you get ditch that GeForce 4 MX and get an ATi Radeon 9000 Pro

    This card would then occupy your AGP slot, and no additional PCI slot, like the 9200 would do as I proposed above :)

    It's only about $ 30 orso more expensive, but you could sell the GeForce.

    Are you sure no 2nd monitor can be attached to the GeForce?
