Default Jizzwhiz lookout. I’m gaining on you.

New monitor set up. Three 23” Apple Cinema Monitors. Seems easy enough huh? Nope. Nope. And nope. It started out that I noticed a 23” Cinema Display on eBay These monitors were over $2k new. Ive had two for years - they are bulletproof. Now they go for $150!

I have an ATI Nvidia 5770 card that has one dual link DVI and two mini DV ports. So I figured it supported three displays. Apple says it does.

It doesn’t. After dicking around for hours getting it set up only two would work at a time. Bought $200 worth of active adapters. Nope.

I then realized I had another machine with a 5770 card. Pulled it out and installed it (each card takes two slots) and now it works with my 2009 Mac Pro (12 core, 48g ram, SSD’s, tower. )

Then I went back on eBay and bought a third 5770 for $45.

This old shit works great. Rips through video and I can post here!

You're kind of a slob. Clean that desk already.
