Hi Dan,
Unlike Tony, I am using a Matrox G450 ( current card is a G550) with great
success. My buddy uses a G400 with great success. These are dual monitor
cards.We both work with 48 bit scans and our res is set to; 1152 x 864. I
use a laptop CRT for now as the second PS Tools monitor so I can't tell you
about the resolution on the second screen. My buddy uses two crts (Viewsonic
PF 795 & a 15 inch for PS Tools) and his images are sharp on both.
That said, I just tried 1600 x 1200 and the resolution is poor.
This is on an XP system with a Viewsonic PF790 crt
So you should pursue the dual G200 cards if it works as well as Tony says.
Owen

Is it possible to put two G200 cards in a Win 2k or XP box and have dual
monitor capability for Photoshop?
