Since I can't afford the upper echelon multi-monitor video cards, I have narrowed my choices down to two cards; The Appian Hurricane and either the Matrox G450 or G550. I thought the best economical solution would be the Matrox cards, but then I came across the Hurricane. The price is not bad and the Brand Name has a very good reputation. So now I need some more advice. Which one would you choose?
BTW, the Appian Hurricane is based on the ATI RADEON VE controller. I am bringing this up because I had heard bad reviews on the ATI dual-monitor cards. So would this also make the Hurricane inferior to the Matrox G450 or G550?
And what is the difference between the Hurricane and the ATI dual-monitor card that uses the same chip and is a lot less expensive?
Or would you recommend an entirely different card that is in the same price range? (dual monitor with good 2d performance; 3d not required)
Any advice would be greatly appreciated...

The Hurricane has drivers with true multimon support on Win2000, the RADEON VE doesn't.
As far as I know the Hurricane has better 3D than the Matrox cards, but if you need mainly 2D you can't go wrong with the G450.

isn't the appian card one digital monitor and one analog? I just went to their site and that's what it looked like.... This is why I've given up on the radeon card.
