RE: Dual head AGP video card recommendations

["Chris Manning" <kenric lozengy net>]

I run a Matrox P750 with 3 17" LCD panels for my workstation.  I'm running
FC1 and it wasn't difficult to get it up and running.  This is an upgrade
from a Matrox G550.  I've run multiple cards in the past, but I've found
this a better option performance wise than having a pci card to drive the
second and third display.

And while the Matrox doesn't perform as well as many of the current Nvidia
or ATI cards in 3d games, I am still able to play Unreal Tournaments 2004 at
a decent resolution (1024x768) with reasonable effects turned on.

At the end of the day though you have to decide which is more important, 2d
performance or 3d performance.  If 3d performance is the be all and end all
for you, then go with a decent AGP and pci card.  If like me 2d performance
is far more important, you won't beat the Matrox dual head cards.

I am looking into getting going with a dual head video set up.  Anyone have
any recommendations that include the phrase "really easy to set up and use?"

Thanks!
