My Radeon 8500 has it but I have not tried it out yet. However I cannot wait!

These cards are really old but WinXP recognizes both and it automatically sets up a dual monitor configuration. You just have to mount the cards in the slots. A piece of cake. Windows 2k also makes it very easy. Some very old cards won't be able to work in a dual configuration, though, due to the lack of appropriate drivers.
