Could those who are using a Matrox card with win 2000 please respond to me. It only has 32 mg & I thought I wanted a 64 mg card. I like to have my 21" monitor at 1600x1200 at a high refresh rate. I want to use an extra monitor 17" for PS palletts etc. On my win 98 system I had a 32 mg card for my main monitor & a cheap generic card for my extra monitor & it worked fine. I am now using win2000 & it seems to be a problem. I got the ati 8500 card to work for a single desktop across the two monitor with adequate refresh rate on my main monitor. However when I went to color management it showed my 17" monitor instead of my nokia 21". I have a week or so to return the ati card & order a matrox. I just want to be sure I will be happy with the 32mg matrox. I have some 3d programs I don't use much but though the ati card would be nice but so far doesn't seem to be ok for color management system. Thanks for any input, Jan - Turn off HTML mail features.
