Default Is it possible to run 3 screens on a g5?

Has anyone gotten 3 displays to work on their g5 and if so how? What graphics card did u use? Thanks.

Power Mac 2ghz g5 2gb
10.4.11
002r

I added a PCI graphics card along with my agp graphics card and immediately I get 6085 and 6093 errors and I found info on Digi's site saying to remove the PCI graphics card to not get those errors.

It's PCI and I'm not at the system but I believe it's a ATI Radeon 9200

I only get the errors after going over 3 tracks, so it definitely seems like a bandwidth problem.
