Well, reading the specs, it seems that only the first head would be
accelerated unless they're set up in a twinhead configuration. The
other two heads are not. True "dual core" GPU units are hard to find
and $$$$. And the advertising copy makes it hard to tell which is which.
I could be wrong, though. If anyone knows of a single AGP/PCI-e card
that can do DRI on separate heads I'd like to know about it - just in
case I build another multi-head setup.
