I looked through all of Dell's ATI offerings but I didn't see a card that was specifically dual DVI. Here's the long URL if anyone cares. Many cards don't have any specs listed with them; so some of those are still possibilities. http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/productlisting.aspx?c=us&l=en&cs=RC956904&cat=snp&s=pub&category_id=5406&sku=&mnfsku=&SearchType=&Page=productlisting.aspx&Pageb4Search=&spagenum=1&orderby=&SubmitSearch=&iCompatid=&brandid=&mnf=265&InStock=&k=&prst=&prEnd= When you said "dual DVI radeon workstation cards" were you referring to the FireGL class cards? Since we do not need 3D support those are out of our price range. Or are you speculating that any dual-dvi radeon, e.g. something like the Asus Radeon 9600XT, would work - at least for 2D? Mostly right now I'm hitting myself in the head for not thinking of using two cards. It looks like you can get a PCI Radeon 7000 with DVI for less than $50 these days. Or a 9200SE is also well under $100. The price is right and it seems plausible to me that two cards would actually be more straightforward because each is only doing one fairly conventional thing - single head DVI. I suspect this is the way I'll go. - Bill Hamblen _______________________________________________ xfree86-list mailing list xfree86-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/xfree86-list IRC: #xfree86 on irc.redhat.com
