There's a possibility that I'll be getting some 17', so I think I'd like to use my current 15' as a second monitor for some time (it's capable of 1024x768@85Hz). But since I have also only G400 16mb SH, I think that getting one of the above pci cards is the best (since the second display will be only for 2d stuff) cheap option.
So...are there any differences worth mentioning in this case between the three cards above? (apart from the thing that I need at least 4mb version for 1024x768@32bpp, I think, right?)
The price differences are negligible for sure (it's totally random which card will score higher price now ), so I think that at least one time I can go for the best
Unfortunatelly there isn't much information on this subject...but I think that millenium II is for some reason the best one, right? (but there's another problem. I've seen cards labelled as millenium II that were very different, even when it comes to graphics chip packaging . Older and newer models?)
And another thing - is it possible to have hardware overlay on second display like this one? (I think I find AVS from winamp amusing in overlay mode with desktop in overlay color, but it'll be more visible on second monitor with IM, irc, winamp etc. than on the primary one)
What about eDualHead? Does it work with two different cards? (I think that history on the side of the second monitor can be very usefull for me)
