Does Saphire Radeon 9500 128 Mb supports dual CRTs? Where should I buy one to have a successfull software mod?

Currently I have Radeon 8500.
I am perfectly happy with it, but if I can get something potentially much faster for just some extra money, why not?
But I want to make sure that it can use my 2 CRT monitors...?
I am located in the US
Where should I get one online, to have the highest probability that the software mod will work w/o artifacts?
Newegg is out until 2/3/03 ..:(

I was blessed with one from allstarshop -them and newegg are my favorite shoppes. Both include all the accessories such as the DVI to VGA adapter.

Just remember this is not a garanteed mod, and you could loose the "lottery" no matter where you get it. I don't think Saphire has more than one plant in China. Good luck.

My Saphire that I got from Newegg does have dual ramdacs, so I guess that means dual monitor support.

What about your card Auric?
Does it have dual RADMACS?
Once again, I am always buying from Neweggy, but they are out of stock now...

My card has dual MACKDADDIES. Seriously, I am not aware that Sapphire makes 'em any other way. AFIAK dual RAMDAC's are integrated on the 9500/9700 whereas prior Radeon's could optionally have a second one board mounted. I use VGA and S-Video outputs and since it comes with a DVI to VGA adapter I assume the DVI is functional also. Which must mean it has dual MACKDADDIES, err RAMDAC's.



I blame it on the clown avatar :)

I misspelled err. Ironic, ain't it?
