Dual monitors

So whats the deal with that Card christian? I seen a pic of the output and it has 2 connectors. It says it comes with 2 cables, whats the deal with the cables? Is it that the cable is like a "Y" ??? And 2 monitors hook up to the "Y" ??? So with both "Y"'s hooked up 2 monitors hook up to each y X 2 which = 4 monitors? Im confused.

WELCOME HOME TO THE LAND OF MULTIPLE MONITORS WHERE I REMAIN THE KING !!!!

I have 3 monitors on my DAW. 2 apple 21 inchers side by side that I span Cubase VST across both, and a 17 incher that has SoundDiver on it at all times.

I will never go back.

Just get a real mixer and some rack gear and you don't need all those monitors. ;)

That's exactly it.
You can download the G200MMS manual at www.matrox.com. It tells you all, with pictures.
 
Few months ago I started a thread with the same Title and same question, I had no idea how a dual monitor works, but now all my 4 computers run with dual monitor. Its that addictive. Just a tip for dual monitor users. Try the program called "Ultramon" (Probably some of you already have them, it is awesome.
