Hello Guys!!!
one day when I'm surfing on web-sites and looking for reviews on the G400 MAX
I saw a Triple-Head!!!(2 RGB + TV OUT)
and those pics are my proof that I'm not crazy!

Not 100% on this one. I saw the same thing and think it's one of two things. Either it's an older pre-production board, notice the feature connectors and/or the lack therof. Other idea is it's the config of the Marvel G400, DH only to TV, and lower connector for the break-out box.

The 2x RGB 1X TV out is the pre production board Matrox were demoing earlier this year, it was the one I saw back in March I think it was.

Oh it wasn't really TripleHead, TV and second RGB were mutually exclusive you could use one or the other. Obviously the Y-cable proved to be the easier (cheaper?) route to take than have all three outputs on the board.

Ant et al:

When I get my Max, I will have two monitors and a TV(S-video) that could be connected. For VGA2 can I use a manual 1VGA In/2VGA Out Switcher and connect the second monitor and TV (via the adapter) to it?
