I am purchasing for a Power Mac G5 Dual 2.0 GHZ with 4.5 GB of ram running 10.4.8. This model has the PCI Express expansion slots.

I recently purchased a 24" widescreen monitor and would like to run a dual display with my current 20" widescreen in portrait mode. Thus comes the problem. I have the GeForce 6600 right now. But from what I understand Nvidia cards do not support portrait mode on the Macs. Thus I am probably looking for an ATI card but they all seem to be geared for AGP slots.

1.) Which card can I buy that will allow me to run my 20" in portrait mode?
2.) Does anyone have experience running a Power Mac this way?
3.) Are there any other work arounds to display a monitor in portrait mode?
4.) Am I screwed in relation to what I want to do?

Thanks in advance.

I appreciate the advice!
