Apple Logic Pro /LogicExpress Discussion

Hey,

   In my dual G4 I have two video outs.  One is a DVI I think, and I have that converted to a 
VGA.  The other output is an ADC and the (VGA) converter cable for that tends to go for 
about $50-65 on eBay!

     What would be the best way for me to get dual or triple display?

     I've picked up some 21 inch monitors at thrift stores.  So I just need the link between 
the VGA from the monitors and a way to get into the computers.

     The idea of triple display is tempting.   More is better : )

     Is multiple display much of a CPU suck?

     Thanks!

       Pete
