Will this really work? All of the "dual head" video card sites I've checked 
(Matrox and ATI) say that Win2K limits the 2nd display to the same resolution 
and color depth as the primary monitor. They SPECIFICALLY say it's a Win2K 
limitation and not a driver limitation. I am running a Matrox G400 MAX 32MB 
Dualhead card on a Viewsonic 21" (1600x1200 32bpp) and 17"(1280x1024 32bpp) 
with Win98SE because of this. I would LOVE to switch to Win2K as my primary OS 
if I don't have to give up dual monitor support.
