I have a Power Mac G5 with 2 DVI connectors with 2x23" Apple Cinema displays plugged in. It's time to get a new desktop Mac, but the soon-to-be-released new Mac Pro seems overkill for my needs. To which other desktop Mac(s) can I connect two 23" displays?
Power Mac G5 (Late 2005), Mac OS X (10.5.8), 2x23" Cinema Displays
Hello, I assume they are the 1920 × 1200 resolution ones?
If so, even a Mac Mini can handle those, but you'll need the included HDMI to DVI converter, then purchase a TB/MDP to DVI converter...
