To build MagicTwin 2-user system you will need to purchase separately a dual head AGP
graphic card for the connection of two monitor for two stations. Among the certified dual
head AGP graphic cards are the ones using NVIDIA GPU (such as MX-440-8X, MX-4000,
FX 5200 and FX 5600). The MagicTwin works perfectly with the following graphic cards. It
does not support ATI graphic card at this moment. You are strongly recommended to
purchase one of the following NVIDIA graphic cards for guaranteed multi-user operation:
Jetway NV18-A2-64B, Jetway NV34-AD-128B, Jetway N31X-AD-128B, Asustek V9520,
Leadtek A340, Leadtek A180, MSI FX5600-TD128 and MSI FX5200-TD128.
You do not need to purchase a separate dual head VGA card if your system is already
equipped with motherboard of NVIDIA nForce2 integrated graphic chipset. Please refer to
the MagicTwin Hardware Installation section of this manual for detail.
