I'm looking at getting the Mac version of the Quadro 4000 but it= looks like
there's support for only one monitor.
Is anyone runni= ng dual monitors with this card? In conjunction with another
card? Is it possible?

I have an AJA Kona3 for broadcast monitoring, = but I need the dual display
for desktop.

Looking to pull the trig= ger today if you guys can give some guidance.
Thanks,

Jim
