I'm getting ready to test a brand-spanking-new ATI Radeon 8500. Since I'm currently using a Matrox G400 MAX, it sets a pretty � high benchmark I think. I'm using Win2K SP2, a 21" primary display (1600 x 1200) and a 17" secondary display (1280 x 1024). I've heard very good things about the �dual display output of the Radeon 8500. I'm hopeful that the �drivers play nicely in Win2K with all my CAD applications, �including Protel. I'm anxious to see how the ATI/Appian Hydravision dual head control software works. The demos I've seen look very nice, but... if not, I'll just stick with the G400.
