That's the unit.

has two DVI inputs, which can independently
selected.  Are you saying that a card can
double the bandwidth - data - of either port,
to provide the juice needed to run all 4M pixels?

As an aside, it seems odd to me that the
VGA output can support 2048 x 1280, at
least for static displays, but that the DVI
output can't even match that.

Anyway, looking around a little, the ATI
Radeon HD 3200 looks like it was a good
card in it's day, but that's maybe 4.5 years
ago.

Anyone care to suggest a card that might
do the job?
