if I remember correctly , you won't have an option to add the RR-G module, but the rest should be identical to a real DH card.

Cheers,

What is a "RR-G module"?

So you mean that the Dual Head upgrade is worth the trouble and its price?

I don't think that I would buy the RR-G the module anyway

I got a DH upgrade for my 16 Meg SH G400, and it was great.

Hi!

I'm planning to buy this upgrade for my 32Meg G400, but I'm a bit unsure how good this upgrade really is.

Can it be compared to the *real* g400 dualhead? Does it work as well as the original display adapter?
