Can I run two 30 inch displays ???

My Quad (Late 2005) has a GeForce 6600 256mb video card.
Currently I am running one 30 inch. I have hooked up a second 20 without a problem.
Can I run two 30 displays on the same card?
Or do I need to add a second video card to the machine??

Of the cards originally available for the Quad, only the nVidia 4500FX could support two 30" displays.
Your best option is to get the newly released ATi X1900 G5 edition. It will support two 30" displays and is considerably faster than the 6600 you have in there now.
Note: This is not the same X1900XT that's on the Apple Store. That one is for the MacPro only and will not work in a G5 (even though they're both PCI-e). OWC has the G5 version for sale here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/ATI%20Technologies/100435854/

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Can I run two thunderbolt display monitors off of my new 27" iMac?

Yes, the new iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. Plus Thunderbolt can be daisy chained thru external Thunderbolt drives and displays that have multiple ports.
For more info, see > Apple - Thunderbolt: Next-generation high-speed I/O technology.
Although I'm not sure exactlly what Arrangement selections you will be offered in the Displays Preference, because I have not tested that setup myself...

Can I run two external displays off a MacBook?

Hi there.
I would like to run two external 20" Acer (VGA) displays off of my MacBook. I already use one 20" in addition to my MacBook screen but would like to have two full sized screens to work off and would not need the 13" from the MacBook.
The MacBook literature says that only a second monitor is supported but I was hoping there is a way to override the MacBook screen in a two monitor setup and port the display to the third monitor.
Any ideas ??

You can have two independent external displays on the workstation macs such as G4, G5 and Mac Pros but not on apple laptops to the best of my knowledge. If you look on that page it shows the Mac Pro then underneath it is the image of two montiors side by side with the shark image going across it. Lower down is a Macbook Pro with one additional monitor next to it.
This is the text which accompanies the image:
"With an all PCI Express architecture, Mac Pro supports a lineup of state-of-the-art graphics cards to ensure a spectacular visual experience. Every Mac Pro supports two displays — including one 30-inch Apple Cinema HD Display — and can be expanded to drive an array of up to eight displays."
Im assuming the up to eight displays refers to the fact that you can add extra graphics cards to the Mac Pro.

New 2015 MacBook Pro 13 Iris 6100 - can it run single 5k display?

Hello. I'm thinking about buying the new 2015 MacBook Pro 13-in with Retina Display with the new Intel Iris 6100 and pairing it with a Dell UP2715K 5k monitor to run 2560x1440 in retina mode.
The specs on the Apple.com website for the new MacBook say the following:
Dual display and video mirroring: Simultaneously supports full native resolution on the built-in display and up to 3840 by 2160 pixels on up to two external displays, both at millions of colors.
Although there's no mention of 5120 by 2880 support it can successfully run two 4k monitors simultaneously, which I would think is more demanding than a single 5k monitor.
Can anyone offer any insight?
Thank you.

Allright, it took me some time to figure out why the write and read speeds were lagging compared to numerous speed tests of rMBP 13" of same year and build.
During the setup process, when starting up your new rMBP the first time, you'll be asked whether you want to activate FileVault. I activated it.
As soon as you turn off FileVault and restart your mac and do the speedtest again, it should give better results. As shown in the screenshot you can see that my write and read speeds are now on par with the other speedtests on the internet. Both 1080p50 and 1080p59.94 formats at 12 Bit RGB are now checked.
Turning off FileVault solved this issue.
P.S. the whole thing about the NVMExpress only applies to the early 2015 12" MacBook. http://www.macrumors.com/2015/04/11/nvme-mac-os-x/

Can I run two DSL lines into my airport network?

I have a 1.5M line from Qwest and can not get faster speed from anyoe else in my semi-rural community. Can I run two 1.5 DSL lines into one or two airport extremes and get the equivalent of a 3.0 line?

If I have two DSL lines each connected to its own Actiontec modem with each modem connected via ethernet to its own airport extreme then it sounds like I need to have two wireless networks to take advantage of the second DSL connection. Correct? We have a lot of computers being used in the household so could put the kids on their own network.
Apparently the airport extreme can not manage a network with two internet connections even if they are connected via separate airport extremes? I have worked at companies that have done this for internet connection redundancy purposes so there must be devices that can handle this.

Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?

Can i run two widgets at the same time on the same page?
Hi
I have created and published 4 free ibooks and i would to run two widgets
- a countdown clock
- a review test
at the same time on the page. Can i do that?
Thanks in advance
Haris

thanks for your answer. Yes indeed HTML widgets run only full screen (snif snif). I consider this as a "distinguishing treatment".
One solution i read !!!!! was to create through keynote a countdown clock, to export to quicktime move and to imported at iBA predefined widgets. of course this is not the solution i need.
So, in order to have at the same widget and run together a count down clock and a preview test (20 questions) i must
1)"hack" the preview widget and insert a countdown clock
2) create a preview test using iAD.....
thanks again

Can you run two separate vi's in parallel

Can you run two seperate Vi's in parallel? Will this make response considerably slower?

Hi, what more detail is needed? They are two entirely seperate independent vi's with no shared sub vis.
I just wanted to know if you can run two independent vi's at the same time, as in just have two seperate programs and run them.
Separate isn't the same as independent. That's why they wanted more information.
Your second question asked about slowed response. That's another place you didn't offer anywhere near enough information for a true answer. How many loops are you running in each of these independent VIs? How many cores does your processor have? Are you including a 0ms wait in your loops to avoid railing your processor?
It's possible you'll see such a negligible change in processing that you won't notice. It's also possible you'll feel like you're draining your system. It's generally best to err on the side of too many details rather than too few when you're asking questions. If you don't know the answer, you likely don't know how each piece plays a part in the answer. More information allows others to pick out the relevant pieces and give you a better answer.

Can I run two seperate PID functions in one VI

Video display specs G5 2.7DP -- can I run two DVI monitors at once?

Greetings,
I have a G5 2.7DP
M9749LL/A
With ATI Radeon 9650 with 256MB DDR SDRAM, one single-link and one dual-link DVI port
Can I:
port 1 (DVI-D): Apple 30" cinema display, resolution 2560x1600
port 2:(DVI-S): 20" DVI display, such as older Apple Studio Display (using ADC to DVI adapter) - Resolution: 1280 x 1024
Can I run both at maximum bit-depth (at the same time) ?
I did not find any specs or discussion about using both ports at the same time.
I currently use both ports, but not with the 30" cinema display -- rather, I use only a 1280x1024 on DVI port 1, and I have a VGA 1280x1024 on port 2 (using a DVI-VGA adapter).
My goal is to run the APple 30" cinema on port 1, and the 1280x10-24 DVI on port 2.
Can I do this, and will it be happy?
Thanks,
J

Hi-
The 9650 can run up to one 30" and one 23" ACD simultaneously, both at optimal (native) resolution.

Video card to run 30 inch display for G5 2.5 GHz quad core

I want to purchase the 30 inch HD display for my G5 Quad core 2.5 GHZ machine. Apple states that it needs the nVidia GeForce 6800 card to run. I have the GeForce 6600. Will the 30 inch display run at a lower resolution with this card? If not, could someone recommend a PCI-E card that will? I did find a 6800 GeForce Ultra at Macsales.com but they state it will not run on the quad G5.
Thank you for your time and consideration

Your existing card has two DVI ports. One is single-link and can only run up to a 23". The other is dual-link, and can run a 30" at full resolution.

Can I run two big external monitors on my 2012 MacBook Pro?

I understand that my NON-retina 2012 MBP can be set up to drive two Apple Thunderbolt Displays, but am I out of luck on driving two generic 27" DVI or HDMI external monitors?
Boring details: I've just bought a mid-2012 MBP, with a quad-core i7 and 16 Gb of RAM plus the high-end GPU w/ 1GB of video RAM, but non-retina. I'd like to run two external 1080p or DVI HD-equivalent monitors (I have several new Samsung 27-inchers). I can live without the laptop 15-inch screen while I'm doing it!
I know that the retina MBP has two Thunderbolt ports, plus a DVI port, which would have easily given me what I need. However, I didn't get the retina MBP because it's totally non-upgradable by a user. There were a couple of other potential additional issues, including some reported problems installing Windows into Parallels via external DVD player. There's also the $mid-3000's price for retina, tricked out the way I'd like... Tradeoffs! At least I still have Firewire.
The two big externals help a lot with video editing. Even with my old G5 PowerMac, you could immediately drive two 1080p-equivalent displays. I expect that someone will release a much-more powerful solution than the Matrox USB 2 screen driver dongle, etc., sometime soon, using "superfast" USB 3, but I'll lose one of my two USB 3 ports; I'll want to have 'em both free for other externals, I'm sure.
Thoughts and/or solutions?

For those following this thread...
There is a posting elsewhere here in Discussions that describes how to get two large external monitors running on a recent Macbook Pro by using only ONE Apple Thunderbolt Display, then daisychaining a LaCie Thunderbolt drive after the T-Bolt display, and this allows adding another large DVI display in the chain after the LaCie.
Still pricey, since it does involve buying one Apple Thunderbolt Display, plus a LaCie drive, and cables, plus the DVI display, but it's around half a thousand dollars cheaper than two Apple T-Bolt displays, plus you have a very fast LaCie external drive.
Still not what I'm looking for, but if you're interested, here's a link...

How can I run two different versions of Firefox, the latest does not work with an important site I need to use?

With the latest version of Firefox I cannot send "Quick Mails" to my students using the college's ANGEL system. I had to uninstall it and go to an earlier version. I prefer the newest rev.
Any way to run two different versions. It does not have to be simultaniously. Seems to be a problem on both my Mac and XP systems.
Thanks,
Kim

Currently I don't think there is a way to run two version of firefox at the same time. But you can install Firefox Beta or Aurora instead (which is build for future release for firefox) and help test it! Here's the link:

Can I run two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC?

Hello, I am curious if anyone knew if it is possibly to install and use two separate versions of the LabVIEW Run-Time Engine on one PC? I currently have the 2009 Run-Time Engine installed on one machine and wanted to install the 2011 Run-Time Engine as well. I know that you can run two separate versions of the LabVIEW program on one machine, but what about the Run-Time Engine?
Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I'm guessing this is a bug that NI needs to fix. I see no reason you shouldn't be able to install the run-time engine of an older version. I'd be interesed in if it allows you to install the older development environment, which also includes the older run-time engine. There are some command line switches for NI installers as mentioned here:
http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/C361087EE9F20810862577850073128E
I wonder if there is a force install option.

Can I run two PIDs from the same vi?

Hi
I want to control speed of the rotating shaft and force applied by the pneumatic cylinder using two different PIDs from the same program.
I managed to get two PIDs to work separatly using PID control loop VI`s supplied with labview 6.1 (I got Kc, I and D right, so there is no overshoot). When I try to run both PIDs within my vi they don`t work. I again tried various gains and managed to get one PID to work but not the other. Then through trial and error I managed to get a second PID to work but I had to change refresh time of the FOR loop from 100msec to 1msec.
Does anyone have experience with running two PIDs in the same program? Does the timing of the FOR loop influence PID contorller? Does equiring of other data while run
ning PID has effect on the PID?
I would really appreciate any comments/help. I am pretty thrustrated at this time
Thanks"

The timing of the FOR loop will influence your PID control, which is a fundamental part of PID control. Acquiring data doesn't affect the PID although it could affect the timing of the loops. For instance if you only have one DAQ card you would want to have it all in one loop because you can not have two AI sessions open to the same card.
For more detailed information on PID I would recommend reading the "PID Control Toolset
User Manual" which should have been installed to your machine but can also be found at : PID Control Toolset User Manual"
