Does anyone have this setup working with any Nvidia card? I am using Vista32 Home Premium with a PNY Nvidia 8600GT (2 DVI ports). I want to set up dual monitors- one a flat LCD panel and the other to my Barco's DVI port. I can get one to work at a time AND I can get VGA/DVI to work as dual but not 2 DVIs at one time.

Works fine - You may have an isue in that the card is looing for a connection signal from the Barco (not there) I had to run mine through an extron 202 for the viseo card to realize that there was something there - you can also force it to run analog. Sounds like the Barco DVI port (WTF is that) does not interface with the video card
just dont use the 8600 in a SLI configuration (dual Video cards) it has issues.
I just recently returned the dual 8600 for dual 9800 GT.

I finally got it working reliably. My Barco has the Eisemann DVI mod and I was using the MyHD DVI card as a switcher. I removed the MyHd part and created inf files (via Powerstrip) for both the LCD and Barco. So far it is very stable.
