Quicksilver with TWO ADC studio displays

Hello all I hope to get an answer quickly. I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver with the Dual 1 gig cpu and a NVIDIA GeForce4 MX with 64 mb of ram.I am trying to connect an extra ADC monitor to my Mac. What do I need to get this to work? I already have one connected but I have another one laying around and wanted to know what kind of video card do I need to upgrade to or what kind of extra peripherals do I need? Thanks to all for the advice.

Quicksilver, Mac OS X (10.5.8), Awesomeness

You will need an Apple (or equivalent) DVI-to ADC adapter and a display card with a DVI port. The Apple adapter contains a Power supply to prodice the needed 28 Volts at up to 4 Amps to power the display.

Some display cards can support the data for a second display already, and will have a second port, which is DVI..

(Your computer can power the first one through the ADC cable alone.)
