Chek the Rage site. If it only does mirroring with the card, then you cannot use the 2nd monitor for more real estate, just a duplication of the screen. But again, check with the cards mfg.

I should add. If this is a caad that Apple shipped with the computer then the OS will support dual monitors with it as well.

All Apple certified Dual monitor connection cards will support dual screen operation.

Not very likely. I don't know of a Rage 128 Pro that supports dual monitors. You need a 64MB VRAM card. The Rage is a 16MB card. I have a PC version of a Radeon 7000 flashed with Mac ROM. The Mac versions only had 32MB of VRAM which did not support dual displays and this PC version has 64. This supports dual monitors and has a NTSC/PAL output too. Look for the 64MB of VRAM (or more) and you'll be set. That's if you want dual displays from one card and not adding a second. Adding a second card in a PCI slot is bad in OS X anyway since you loose the Core Image/Quarts advantage where the screen drawing burden is taken off the system processor and placed on the graphics card. Then again the Rage 128 does not support that either.
