Did you intend to run 2 monitors at all? (Reply to this comment)

Did you get to try it at all with 2 monitors? I'm curious what sort of software it has to handle the multiple desktops.

Great review, but... (Reply to this comment)

The memory on that GeForce2 MX200 is only 64-bit SDR memory, which obviously chokes on many state-of-the-art games. The GeForce2 MX200 only supports 64-bit SDR memory, while the GeForce2 MX400 supports either 128-bit SDR or 64-bit DDR memory. VisionTek now sells its NVIDIA-based cards under the "EXtasy" or "Xtasy" or "Ecstasy" (or whatever word that sounds like those) name. The 32MB GeForce2 MX200 is now called the Xtasy 5332; the 64MB GeForce2 MX400 is now the Xtasy 5564. Both cards are available in AGP and PCI versions; the 5332 and the 5564 sell at retail for $79.99 and $99.99, respectively.

I have been thinking of adding a 2nd monitor, and this card -- with Dual digital outs -- seems to be very well priced. Most are around $300.

Great review.
