Hi,
Been rummaging thru reviews and vendor sites but am so far none the wiser. Could somebody please enlighten me what vendors mean by the ffg type of terms in practice.
e.g. http://usa.asus.com/products/vga/en5750/overview.htm mentions
Diversified displays connectivity (DVI, Dual VGA, DVI+VGA, DVI+TV-out)
No need to explain what DVI/VGA is that is clear to me, but these dual modes e.g. DVI+VGA - does that imply the same image can be dispayed on both a DVI and a VGA device simultaneously or could each device display different screens?
i.e. does this work like the Matrox 'dualhead' technology? where in say Photoshop this allows one to have toolbars on one screen while having the working image in the other.
I'm looking for this technology but in a PCI express based card - going for high end 3D cards to only do 2D work seems ridiculous so am trying to find and ATI X300/600 or Nvidia PCX5300/5750 based solution which supports 2 different displays from the same PC - with one output screen being LCD and the other CRT. Is DVI+VGA the feature that I should then be looking out for or what?
TIA
Manfred
