Cool! All I want thls bad-boy to do for me is run the dual-heads with
decent response time. No, I have not done much in the way of gaming,
and although I'm not opposed to the idea, I'm not rushing into that
anytime soon, either. I will try that and see how it goes. Any other
tips on getting the dual-head configured properly? I'm starting from
scratch on this one. Thanks, guys!
