G5 powermac

[Gramps4386]

I have a PowerMac G5 quad 2.5 liquid cooled and am wondering 2 things - it has a GeForce 6600 card with 2 dvi's and am wondering which one is dual output and which is single. Also - wondering how to upgrade this card for better graphic display quality.

Go here for pix to guide you to deteremining which DVI port is which:

G5s are VERY picky regarding what GPUs they will work with. Be VERY careful and make sure the GPU you buy is for a Mac and is not a modded PC version (made to work on a Mac). Results vary greatly with the modded GPUs and I do not recommend their use at all. Others will disagree, up to you.

Good luck!

regarding above question, I think I figured out which DVI port to use. Looking at the rear view, it is the one on left.
