Media 100 HD question.
The new G5 has 3 PCI slots. One will need to be a fiber channel card for Xserve Raid, One for the HD Card and One for a graphics card. But I understand that the 2 graphics cards that come with the 2.5 G5 take up 2 slots. So what is the fix? Move down to a different card?

Are you referring to the nVidia 6800 Ultra DDL card that
allows you to use the 30" cinema display? If so, it's not
really two video cards. It's one video card that
overlaps two slots. However, one of those slots is the
AGP slot that the card plugs into; the adjacent PCI slot
is blocked simply due to the size of the video card. So
you should still be OK: you'll have one slot blocked by
the video card, one slot for the Xserve RAID, and one for
the HD card.
