LOL. Sure, how about two grand?
One thing that I recall about those old beige beaters is that they used
some evil magic to get those six slots (9600 was the last six-slot Mac,
wasn't it?). The PCI slots were broken into two groups of three, and I
can't recall what it was that was special about their interaction
except that it was occasionally a PITA with ProTools.

Sure, I'd take three grand for it; ) Lol! I hate to even say this, but
I payed $2,205.00 plus shipping for it, that was a deal when I bought it.
: ( When I bought it, it was quickly obsoleted by the mighty G3 about
a month later. But hey, it will run Paris, it's got 6 pci slots and it can
be upgraded to a G4! I'd be happy with $250.00!!!!!!!!

Speaking of Macs.
Can a Mac handle more than 1 video card, (like a PC)?
I want to use the second card to send video to an external monitor without
having to split the output of my main card, (dual head).
Thanks for any info ...James??

Hey Martin! Macs with pci slots have always been able to do this right out
of the box with out any special software. I don't know if this is still
the case with the intel Macs, but I would assume that it is.
