* triple-RGB is enabled as one extended desktop
only and each display must be at the same resolution, color depth and
refresh rate.
** Please note that resolutions, color depths and refresh rates must be the
same on each display when using Dual-DVI; however, Windows recognizes the
two displays as independent devices and will therefore treat the desktops on
each display as independent as opposed to one extended desktop (Win NT
style)
