Well I guess that's 2 endorsements for the Nvidia Quadro NVS cards. Thanks Scataphagos and bighog, I will pursue that avenue on future rigs, or if I totally strike out here with the Radeons.
Just to recap, I'd been using the VTek Radeon X1300 dual heads (2 of them, so 4 monitors total) for 5 years with no problem. One morning I wake up and I've lost a monitor. After switching some things around I learn it's not the monitor itself, but just the one port on the one card that's the problem.
So my instinct was to simply find an exact replacement for the card. Easier said than done, 5 years after initial product release.
I've received 2 new cards that were not what I ordered, and I have a 3rd coming by Tuesday that hopefully will be right. I'll wait til then before going under the hood and trying everything out. I'll post an update.
Thanks again for everyone's input and advice.
