Re:powermac quicksliver dual 800 server wuestion - 2008/07/27 13:19Which video card do you have in your G4 ? It could have been upgraded or possibly an upgrade option when new. Generally the newer Radeon cards support dual monitors and a some nVidia cards like the TwinView also support dual monitors.
As far as it doing damage to your hardware I would guess no but you never know. As long as both monitors work then your card does support dual monitors and I wouldn't worry about it. The most it could do is hurt the monitor but I seriously doubt that would happen.
You should go into the Display system preferences and calibrate the monitors so they both match as well as possible. The darker monitor may just need calibrated.

Re:powermac quicksliver dual 800 server wuestion - 2008/08/24 14:26I may be interested in the Mac Mini if you still have it. What are the specs and what are you asking for it? You can contact me offlist.
