    ST Armada runs fine on my G400Max.... if you want to do something odd with the dualhead using both cards, I doubt that will work.

      Not both with Dual-Head.
      Just using both as straight one monitor video cards.

          High, Jumbllama ...

          the actual set of drivers support up to 17 monitors !!!



          For example use a G400 SH as primary and install four G200-Quad-MMS cards.

          Don't know if ST Armada will benefit from that though ...

          Cheers,

              I know it would not benefit from more than two. The second monitor is for a 3D close up view. I was just wondering if it would work with two seperate cards instead of dualhead. Dual-head on a Marvel sucks because the second display is pretty much limited to a TV.

                  "G400 PCI Single Head "

                  No such thing. G400 comes in AGP models only.
                  You could try a G200, or about any other PCI card that supports multi-cards...but I would not hold my breath on it working with Armada.
                  Most people who have tried multi-cards in the game have had many problems. According to the Armada forums, the only officially supported multi-display rig for the game is a G400 DH.

                    Doh! Sorry Kruzin. THe various naming conventions threw me.

                    In any case, I think I'll wait. After 3 hours of trying various programs, very few program work properly.
