i think the majority of radeons and gf4 ti's do it.
my gf4 ti3600 from asus does it, as does my ati 8500LE radeon.

my mate has a tu4600 from gainward and his supports it. i think most do.

Noodle. Get a Matrox g400 dual head. Excellent cards for 2d stuff, and quite cheap nowadays.


I can't find any G400s. But I found this G450 on Dabs for £47 + VAT.

my radeon 8500 does it like a beast,
i think theres lots of other cheaper radeons that do aswell.

I have a 32Mb Matrox G400 Dual head.

Wouldn't swap it for ANY other card. Even an FX 5900.

Ive talked my boss into ordering it :) lol

Although, it's now prompted him into trying to find a home for my 2nd monitor ffs. :/
