Hi.
First of all - I did try to search for the thing I am asking about, but more often I got a 10-20 page long posts regarding the cards I was trying to find something about...
Now to the questions.
I would like to get a new card for my rather old PC. The graphics card uses AGP slot. I am using 2 monitors and both are 1680x1050 (that is why I need a new card BTW, the second one does not work in native resolution due to current card's limitations).
So I was thinking I could get one of those Radeon HD2400 or 2600 as it looks they have 400MHz ramdac - so able to handle both screens.
Now the questions:
1) Is this going to work in GNU/Linux?
2) Is dual monitor configuration working for those cards in GNU/Linux?
3) If it will work - are there any obvious drawbacks/limitations?
4) Or should I stick to nvidia?
5) Or should I choose a different ATI model?
Sorry for (maybe) obvious questions but I just could not get simple answers for them...
Thanks!
