I have a AGP Matrox G400max dual head

and my question is in Windows 2000
can you have 2 installed Video cards..

I ran into a PCI Matrox Rainbow Runner that has a TV out which I refered in my last post..

Can I have both cards with the TV Out
like have my cake and eat it too?

Have got a g450 max dual which is the same chipset as yours running with a PCI TV in/out, so I don't see in principle why not.

You can certainly have multiple monitors supported, what are you trying to do watch DVD on one tv and tv on the other?

Does the rainbow though not link to another matrox card with some kind of cable? So is that not two video and a tv(capture?) card?

Dunno - tell me more.

Acording to Matrox you can run a AGP card with dual head and PCI card with Dual head and get 4 monitors without a problem.

But no overlay on the clones?

No
I think Appian have models.
Curently the only model I can recomend that have the hardware overlay working on both monitors is the ATI Radeon VE.
In Win98-me there is a registry tweek for Matrox cards but it's not official and garenteed to work.

I had a g400 running in Win2000. I also had a cheap Vidio card, not sure which one, so I could have two different display sizes. I now run a g450 in XP. The G450 will allow me different display sizes so I only need the one card.
