Both the G450 and the dual-head GeForce cards use a slower less-capable 
DAC for the second port, so it can't manage quite the same resolution / 
refresh rate combination.

If you want the truly ultimate multi-monitor system you have to find an 
adaptor available as AGP _and_ PCI and use two or more of them.
