I have a G5 Dual 2ghz with the ATI 9800.
I currently have 2 monitors hooked up (2 17" Apple LCD Dispays) and need to add 2 more monitors.
Anyone have any suggestions as to which video card(s) I should look at (no flashes, I have to buy it from a store). I figure that I am limited with the ATI 7000 (pci) but hopefully somebody knows better.

The ATI Radeon 9200 (PCI) is supposedly coming out 'any day now'. That would probably play nice with your 9800.

One thing of note: I believe 10.3.4 still has a horizontal desktop width of 4000 pixels. Obviously Apple has to tweak this with the advent of the 30-inch displays, but that's probably not coming until 10.3.5.

I'm running 3920 pixels across, and I think I've just about maxed it out.

Thanks 709. I just checked on the 9200. It appears that it has been delayed until sometime in August.
