Huge question 2video cards +win98 = 2monitors

Why don't you get rid of your ATI Radeon and get a Matrox G450 Millenium 32Mb DDR DualHead AGP ?
It sure won't beat a GeForce2 Ultra, but if Dual Display is important for you, this card sure rocks.

Better go Green than Blue!

I sure agree that Matrox G450 is out of ATI AIW Radeon's and GF2's league but ATI doesn't offer Dual Monitor Display.
What use can you make of a PCI graphics card anyway?
I still think that if dual display IS the most important thing, you'll get a kick out of G450. You won't notice the FPS difference in gameplay situation. Having two graphics cards is just a waste of money. I say get rid of the current card and get the Matrox. Matrox G450 (120$) is half the price of ATI's AIW Radeon (239$) according to Pricewatch.
I also agree to forget about 3DFX cards.

AFAIK, the twin-head GF2 supports output to 1 monitor and 1 TV (for DVD playback etc), but NOT two monitors... so that's as near to useless as I can see

Matrox is pretty awesome, and if dual-monitoring is the most important thing clearly the way to go... however, I get the feeling that a) he's in for the games & graphics b) he's attached to his radeon, he's been singing its praises high & low across the forums

I just want to play games. Well the Twin view GeforceMX is too slow. 1 card Shares resources for 2 monitors. so if i have 2 card games should run faster.

I Only play 32-bit games for the last time this is my choose:

voodoo5 5500 PCI
Ati all-in-wonder 128 32mb PCI
creative labs - Geforce2 MX PCI

Cel 533 - 256mb sdram
15gb HD - ati radeon 32mb ddr (200/200)
SB live! mp3+ - win98 Beos

hey, isnt he looking for a second video card that is PCI? you cant have 2 agp cards right? so the voodoo5500 is the only one in that list which can be had in PCI version. correct me if im wrong but that seems to be his only option

If at first you don't succede, skydiving isn't for you.

I don't want a F'N dual head video card for the THIRD TIME i want a SECOND PCI CARD. This want i have to choose from the THIRD TIMEL:

VOODOO5 5500 64mb sdram ----PCI
ATi ALL IN WONDER 128 32mb sdram----PCI
Creative Labs GeForce2 MX 32mb ddr----PCI

Cel 533 - 256mb sdram
15gb HD - ati radeon 32mb ddr (200/200)
SB live! mp3+ - win98 Beos

Now im getting Answers. Dont be shy REPLY!!!

Cel 533 - 256mb sdram
15gb HD - ati radeon 32mb ddr (200/200)

I'm a little confused because you can't have 3D running on 2 cards at the same time making having a 2nd 3D card a bit redundant. However, if you have to have it I'd go with the Voodoo5.

From what I have read the Voodoo5 5500 PCI only takes about 10% performance hit vs the AGP version where a PCI GeForce 2 MX takes hits from 10-45%. With the Voodoo5 you will also be able to run legacy Glide games.

I have dual monitors and I run a Voodoo 3000 in my Pci and the 64MB Annihilater 2 ultra in my AGP. Theres no need to get an expensice PCI card because all your games will be in your AGP slot and any Pci card will run whatever you put in the second monitor. Go cheap you wont use it hardly. Most games dont stretch and its not worth it if they do. The only benefit I see from Dual Monitors is my day trading app. other than that youll probably find its useless unless you run flight sim and even then a good card isnt needed.

I just wished they made HDTV format type computer monitors. Why have two separate monitors when one wide one would kick major butt. Just think of a wide montitor where you could have multiple programs running without having to switch from one monitor to another, plus it would be seemless. Does anybody make these yet? Playing DVD widescreen on a computer monitor seems like you are loosing half of the reestate of the monitor with black borders. What a waste. Sorry if I got off subject.
