2 monitors w/ 1 card

[Guest]

For work, not play, I often want to compare 2 sets of documents / information.
Currently I print the data & compare from paper.
This is slow & often the .docs when seen side by side contain major differences that are immediately seen. But without side by side comparison it is difficult for me to remember ( uh, duh )..
I have 2 monitors. 1 left over from a previous system upgrade.
Using a split screen / windows.. results in to much scrolling to be time effective.
What dual out put cards will work best with my Abit BX Rev 2 card & Cel. 566 OCed to 850.
Can I use 2 different IE 5.5 windows on the 2 monitors?

thanks in advance
tim

I have 2 video cards and 2 monitors(best way if you ask me.) But yes you can open 2 diff windows 1 on each monitor.

Never tried it , but with a G400/450 or a GeForce 2 MX and a Sony Monitor (The one i have! - It can be plugged to 2 computers simultaniously, swapping between the two with a switch in the front panel!), you probably could open 2 documents at the same time!

If you´re asking why i haven´t tried it yet, it´s because
i have a GeForce 2 GTS and it doesn´t have Twinview! :-(

Get the Matrox g450. it blows away the geforce2 mx in image quality.

For work only you say?
Absolutely go with the Matrox G450.

Best solution is two independent video cards. Get an AGP voodoo3 and a pci voodoo3.

Balls, said the Queen if I had them I would be king!

I'd also say get a G450. Note that there are some dual-head Geforce2MXs out that you might want to look into.

And i think the MX is cheaper than the G450!
So , you have to look at both´s picture to see which one´s better!
