PCI Dual Head Video card ?
Anyone know any PCI *Dual Head* video cards that work with PT 6.9/Digi 002 Rack ?
I have been using a stock PCI Video card (no real probs with it far as I know). I don't have any AGP slots in my system, but I would like to add a dual head video card, will have to be a PCI card though. I have a Digi002 Rack, PT 6.9, Win XP Pro SP2. Dell Desktop, 2.4ghz, 2gb RAM. No built in Video & *No AGP Slot*. Any suggestions? |

Re: PCI Dual Head Video card ?
Are you (or anyone else) currently using this card?
Is it Digi approved/tested? I didn't see anything in Digi's compatiblity list beyond use "AGP graphics". I didn't realize my Dell 400SC doesn't have an AGP slot till it was too late. I'm ready to upgrade to 2 LCD's now, but want to minimize causing problems with PT. |

Re: PCI Dual Head Video card ?
check carefully what you are buying many new video cards are PCI-Ex which will not work in a standard PCI slot
the FX5200 is made to be a AGP card, and i would advise agenst the FX5200 any day. i dont believe its duel head as such they just do some strange stuff to get duel monitor very few PCI video cards are being made, i believe Matrox are still making some and the yare true duel head |

PCI cards are known to be problematic with Pro Tools. The fact that your current PCI card seems to be working ok does not guarantee that a different PCI card will perform the same.
