12/10   when I had an ultra 1 I made a two headed display out of it by
        installing a cgsix framebuffer (grabbed from another ultra 1).  is
        it possible to do the same with an ultra 5?  The graphics card seems
        to be built into the motherboard.  So I can't rip it off from another
        workstation.  Anybody made a two monitor system out of ultra 5 or 10?
        Thanks.
        \_ You have to get a compatible PCI VGA card for your Ultra5, either
           PGX32 or PGX64 should do fine. You can pick up used PGX32s on ebay
           for about $100,
        \_ We had a Ultra with 12 heads thanks to the magic of PCI expansion
           chassis.   Arranged all in a row logically, you got a workout
           moving the mouse from one end to the other.
