The EAX550HM512/TD/256M from ASUS is a Radeon X550 based video card that lets you run Vista at full strength. If the 256MB of on-board DDR memory isn’t enough then the card can access another 256MB of system memory to ensure great images. Having both a VGA and a DVI-I port lets you hook up both a monitor and your HDTV for multiple viewing options.
Gaming is something else that would benefit from multiple screens. You can run the game on the main screen and have the Gamer OSD and Game FaceMessenger utilities open on the other. Gamer OSD lets you chat and manage your cards settings without having to exit the game-overclock on the fly for maximum control of your game play experience. Or you can use Game FaceMessenger for IM style in-game chats.
Sometimes you want to watch movies, hook your HDTV to the DVI interface or use the adapter cable for component video connection. Or, if you’d rather watch the movie on your PC then the Splendid Video Enhancing Technology kicks in, delivering a cleaner, clearer picture.
