Anyone with a Matrox G450 dual head...

How well does the SS run in Win2K with that card.

Thinking of buying a copy as a birthday gift, but don't want to have trouble.

Normally I would put in the demo and then see, but this is obviously not a good idea for a surprise.

It runs great on win2k with the matrox. However if you plan on runnin it on a dual monitor setup you will have to set the ss to a smaller resolution and display it on one screen. You may be able to get it to fit by strecthing your monitor settings. However the wide screen version may change that.
