[QUOTE="ETR Creasy, post: 774421, member: 78813"] Hey guys I'm new on here and wondered if you could help me out with a problem. I edit on a Power Mac G5 with a 20" Cinema display hooked up via an ATI Radeon 9800 graphics card (one DVI input, one VGA). I have just bought a second 20" cinema display which I would like to hook up, however my card only has one DVI slot. Is it possible to connect the monitor using a VGA-DVI adapter such as the one listed below: [url=http://www.computercablesource.com/dvi-adapter-analog-dvi-female-to-hd-15-male-68.html]DVI Adapter - Analog - DVI Female to HD 15 Male - Computer Cable Makers Inc.[/url] OR, is that just completely ridiculous, considering it would be putting a digital signal through an analogue slot (I assume that is what VGA is)? :Oops: Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks! Kind regards [/QUOTE]
