Default Re: Maximize Windows On Dual Monitor Setup

I still run an AGP card, though I would have thought that PCI-E cards would offer the same functionality, despite the different interface, as they surely have the same or very similar chipsets.

On ATI (AMD) 9500 series, it does dual head to DVI and VGA, or DVI and S-VHS. Maximise to individual "heads" works fine on those.

Apparently the Matrox P750 series cards do triple head - DVI, VGA and S-VHS simultaneously, though has far less memory onboard than the ATI's.

I don't know how this handles seperate "heads", but the Matrox external expander box presents the PC with one ultra-wide screen that extends across all three monitors. Apparently if you install specific software, it puts in a effective "overlay" that splits this ultra-widescreen into three defined areas, so that maximise works properly.
