[SLUG] Video cards again again again...

Now that I'm getting down to some serious price comparisons on video
cards (just about settled on Nvidia, although I've enjoyed ATI until
now), I've noticed that a lot of the multiple-output cards have maximum
res. that heeds questioning. For instance, the eVGA FX5500, says that
it is capable of 2048x1536x32bitsx60Hz max. in analog. 1600x1200
digital. I plan on running two 21" CRT's on this bad boy at 1600x1200
each. Is this going to do it for me, or do I need something with more
power? I suppose that the question is: Is the rating per channel, or
cumulative? Plus, 2048x1536=3,145,728 (advertized max.) <
1600x1200(eacn monitor)x2(monitors)=3,840,000. Does that mean that it
wouldn't work, or am I way off in left field on my rationalization?
