  • Is G400 DualHead OK for Win2000 system?

    Hi everybody,
    I'm preparing for a dual head system based on Matrox G400 DH card and Win2000.
    Does Win2000 support the DualHead features as Win98 does? If anyone of people reading this uses Win2K with DualHead please tell me how do you feel about that. Do the drivers work seamlesly?

    Thanks,
    Bartek Podkowa

    The drivers work, but differently. Microsoft under Win9x allows you to define two separate desktops on ANY hardware. Under Win2k (and NT) you must have separate hardware under the current model. I suspect (since I haven't poked around TOO extensively) that it's a fixable issue but will require some driver reworking to define separate HALs for the two heads.

    However, if you are interested in the DVDMax feature, the Zoom feature, or the "one big ol' honkin' desktop on two monitors" feature then yes, it works just fine under Win2k.
