Cool. I hope someone shows up with a G450 exactly like that to test my theory. > > G450 or G550 using a dual DVI cable.

Yeah, if you read the G550 manual http://www.matrox.com/mga/support/user_manuals/mill_g550/millg550_en.pdf "If you have a DVI-only graphics card If your Matrox card only has a DVI connector, you can connect one monitor directly to your card or up to two monitors using a dual-monitor cable. You can connect a monitor with a DVI connector directly to your card. You can also connect an analog monitor with an HD-15 connector using an analog dual-monitor cable (included with certain Matrox products) or using a DVI-to-HD15 adapter. If you need this adapter and it's not included with your Matrox product, contact your computer vendor." And the picture they should is of a G550 with only one DVI connector. -- Ryan Underwood, <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
