Do you know how these compare to the Matrox G400 and G450 cards for use with
two monitors?I have been using both Matrox cards. However a friend has asked
advice re a Dell package that offers the 32mb NVidea Geforce2 MX and not the
Matrox cards.
The drivers for the Matrox cards seem ok, allowing reasonable features of
setting up the two monitors and it is possible to have different resolutions
on each monitor. Can this be done with the Nvidia card/driver?
Thanks
Jon
