Radeon 8500 64MB "dual head"(???) for $89.99 with $5.00 shipping

Mostly I posted this because I don't understand. What is the "dual head" bit? Aren't all 8500s dual monitor capable?

Is this a good deal? Is this card different from the "regular" Radeon 8500?

So many video card deals now, so little time...

yes, all 8500's have dual heads, one DVI and one VGA and they usually come with a dvi-vga adaptor. Also, they all have s-video out on them as well. and yes, this is a pretty good deal as it is a nice card for not so much. you can play all the latest games at almost max resolutions. I am only a little ticked though as I paid $180 for my 8500 64mb 7 monthes ago...

one thing to note about this deal, it is NOT a retail 8500, it is one of those double oem crap ones that is clocked at 230/460. the normal oem's are clocked at 250/500 and the retails are clocked at 275/550. I take back what I said before, this is not such a great deal due to the fact that the 230mhz versions are aweful for overclocking (I got my old 230mhz version up to 245 before I got artifacts).

Better deal is the newegg 8500le bulk that is $94 shipped. IT seems to be overc very well
