Can someone advise on running 2 PC monitors....on my G3...

I already have a 21" PC monitor running on a Radeon single card...

how easy is it to install a second graphics card...?

is there anything i should know before popping another one inside...?

I am on OS 9
350 mhz
512 ram

Re: dual displays - G3

I used to do it with a ATI Mach64 and a 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 on my PowerTower Pro, all I had to do was stick them both in, attach both monitors, and boot up. then adjust the resolution in the Monitors control panel. Piece of cake.

Just get a pci 33mhz vid card and put it in a free slot, start up your mac and you are in business! Only thing you have to do is open the controlpanel monitors/display (is it called that way in English?!?!) and set the monitor resolution and the position of the monitors. It just works, just Apple! :D

I also have two displays on my G3 B&W 400 Mhz, 512 mb Ram. (Ram isn't an issue) One 20 inch Multiple scan and one 17 inch studio display crt. Once you got 2 displays, you don't want to go back!
