Support for Dual Displays
The Mac OS has supported extended desktop mode right from the start, a capability
that is especially important for professional users. Whether you have a Power Mac G4
or G5 or a PowerBook G4 computer, you’ll enjoy the benefits of having an additional
Apple flat-panel display.

A second display dramatically increases the amount of
“screen real estate” you have to work with, an advantage for graphic designers, video
editors, and other media professionals who must juggle multiple source documents,
tool palettes, timelines, and more. It’s also a great solution for PowerBook users who
want a larger screen when they aren’t on the road.
Power Mac G5 systems come with both ADC and DVI ports, allowing you to plug
one Apple display directly into the DVI port, and then use a DVI to ADC adapter (sold
separately) to connect a second display. Current PowerBook G4 computers feature
a DVI port and can be attached directly to a 20- or 23-inch display. (Note that the
30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display requires the NVIDIA GeForce 6800 Ultra DDL
graphics card, compatible with the Power Mac G5. PowerBook systems currently do
not support the 30-inch display.)
