A question about the AIW 8500DV's Hydravision...

On Ati's website, it mentions that the AIW 8500DV can connect a monitor + a TV simultaneously, but says nothing about connecting 2 VGA monitors at once.
In the description of non-AIW cards, it clearly states "Dual Monitor Support" for them.

So it seems that the AIW cards don't support dual-monitor setups.
Is this true?
I really wanted dual display support...but only being about to use Hydravision for connecting one monitor and a TV is useless for me.

All AIW cards are single head, dual "display". I agree that a dual head AIW card would be nice.

yes, I've got the same card you do and it only supports 1 monitor. you could try using the TV-OUT, but other than for movies...I don't think its very useful to use as a full time 2nd monitor.
