New NVS 280 PCI

[atlas]

Hi, I saw the press release the other week. Is it true I can run more than two displays from a single card:

"Available immediately in Intel Pentium4/Xeon based HP workstations, the NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 PCI is a small form-factor, dual-head graphics board that can act as the main graphics head for PCI-only systems, or in combination with other PCI and AGP 8X boards, drive up to 16 high-resolution digital flat panels from a single computer. The NVIDIA Quadro NVS 280 PCI features a single, high-density DMS-59 connector, which provides tremendous flexibility for dual-analog and/or 1600x1200-resolution digital flat panels."

Or do I have to buy multiple cards? Also, what relation does this card have to the AGP version? It seems there already was a NVS280 out.

thanks,

I'm pretty sure that's with other cards.

As for what it has to do with the AGP version, it's probably the same card but in PCI form in order to allow them to be used simultaneously.

You can run dual displays from the one card, with one connector, using a dual-headed hydra dongle.

Has anybody made it work with Suse 9.2???
