RAdeon 8500, Adobe Premier 6, etc questions

[TomK]

Looking for feedback on the following:

I curently use a GF2 Ultra and a GF 400 MX for dual-head CRT's. (sucks cuz I can't get XP drivers working in this dual head, it turns off the MX 400 PCI card when I load them, so I am using the 12.41 Win2k Drivers.)

Looking to upgrade to a couple Dell 2000FP LCD's (any feedback??).

Also, looking to ditch Nvidia for an R8500 (like a single card for dual-head), plus the 2d is better I heard.

Problem is, does the Radeon 8500 work with Adobe Premiere 6.0? I use this for my video editing.

Plus, as for gaming, I do jus a little bit, flight sims, TFC, etc, not much, anything to worry about with the Radeon card?

Does the 8500 card come with the DVI to DVG **cable**?

Thanks!
Tom

Just installed me 8500. I had a Radeon 64 VIVO before that and I am happy to report both work great with premiere. I know p can be a pain with cards, but Ati cards work really well. Canopus use them in their systems as well.

My setup is Intel /BX.
