OK I'm only using 1 monitor but since I am using the 8500 in my brief case computer, the DVI connector sticks out but the VGA does not.
If you click the link below you will see my brief case PICS and know what I'm talking about.

Since I didn't want to cut out the middle bar to expose the VGA connector, I went ahead and use the DVI/VGA adpater and use the DVI connector for 1 monitor.

So far it seems like it works fine but my question is: Am I getting the maximim performance ??

I read that when you run a dual display, the second head only has like 250mhz ramdac as oppose to 350mhz for the main one.(something like that).
