Dual Display help needed

[urban cool]

Hi guys, noob here...

I have a PowerPC G5 with a nVidia GeForce FX 5200 with a DVI & (what looks like a ADC port).

My question is this.

I have two 23" Apple Displays to run with the machine, however, both are DVI connections, hence i can only get one to work.

How can i get the other to work, what do i need?

Any help would be much appreciated.

many thanks in advance

You if one port is a DVI and the other is a ADC, then you need a ADC-DVI adapter.

You actually have it backwards. The one on Left (in red) is the DVI adapter and the one on the right (in blue is the ADC adapter)./

This article shows the difference:

EDIT: To answer your question, you have 1 DVI port and one ADC port. You need an ADC-DVI Adapter to get the second monitor to work.

Yes. Any ADC-DVI Adapter will work.
