Pros: Dual displays, Vibrant colors, Razor sharp clarity at the highest resolutions
Cons: Loss of friends out of envy, Matrix looking computer room, Less productivity and more DVD watching

Dual displays have always fascinated me. I had the opportunity to play with a CAD station utilizing dual 21 inch monitors and was in heaven the entire 3.2349 minutes the AutoCAD deity allowed me to mess with his sacred machine.

Matrox cards have always been know to provide the best 2D image on the market, and the G400, and it's successor, the G450, carry on the tradition.
