Varies with model, I have both 2 and 3 row connector cards, however a
common problem is that many people pick up the cards with the 2 row
connectors and assume that they can plug a Mac monitor straight in,
this is only the case with the Mac version, they can be identified by
only having the one connector, all the 2 connector cards use the PC
connector for video o/p.
