How Do You Run Twin Monitors

[68lbs]

Hey... just found another monitor in the loft that I'd forgotten about. Do you need anything special to run two monitors?

I have a Mac G5 (bit metal tower thing) if that's any help.

Sorry, this is probably a real dumbass post, but it's not something i've ever considered or tried before.

my graphics card has 2 ports to plug in the monitors not sure if you can buy adapters.

Just call me Mr Doofus! Mine does too. So I just plug in and play? Oooo, twin monitors, here we come!

Yup - Plug it in, Do macs run nvidia graphics cards? Most of the cards auto configure the monitors now so that it 'just works' - I know mine did

Yep! Not sure on the specifics of a Mac but usually you get to decide which monitor is primary and which side the other monitor is on in the display settings - meaning that you don't have to physically move them about if they are initially detected the wrong way around.
