A pal of mine gave me a Mac DVI to VGA adapter which he bought at the closing of compUSA for $2.00.  I have no idea how much this cable would normally be, but it's safe to say it would be more than $2.00.

I've had a 23" Acer monitor hooked up to the DVI port of my Dual G5 2.0 and decided to hook up my old 1280x1024 LCD to the 2nd monitor port.  I couldn't find the original Apple DVI-VGA adapter so I looked on ebay.  They're only $5.00.

Right before I bought one on ebay, I found my original.  So now I have two monitors:

1. Main 23" monitor at 1920x1200

2. Monitor 2 is a 19" at 1280x1024

Now I'm going to be playing with Spaces again to see if it works.  I couldn't use it when I first upgraded to Leopard but maybe now that I'm at 10.5.2 it will work.
