try www.novatech.co.uk - They do pci graphics cards - don't know about mac support as have absolutely no knowledge of macs!

ATI RADEON 7000 VE PCI GRAPHICS CARD DUAL MONITOR SUPPORT +TV OUT 32MB

£74.00 ex VAT
£86.95 inc VAT

Guess that'd be 'wayyyy' too much then

hmmm i thought about putting a dual monitor card in but it'd have to be AGP and a mac specific one and support ADC - summut like the ATI Radeon 9000 Pro Mac Edition here:

A 3dfx Voodoo 5500 64Mb PCI just went on ebay for 38quid so i'll keep an eye out on there i guess. That would have done perfectly.

Been thinking about that extra monitor myself, but i'll probably be upgrading my system at some point in the next 6 months so it's on the back burner for now. The dual monitors will be a must when I do though, or a hefting cinema display at least

happy ebay hunting

i only did it cos i had a spare crt after getting an lcd display, had an old card lying around too so thought i'd use them.
Next upgrade will probably be G5 then another lcd at some point... depending on funds.

Snap!

I'll be going the same route, once the pennies come rolling in... at some point.
