This dual Number Nine Revolution 3D board is used as display board with the Avid Meridien III Cactus. However it works also as graphics card only. The Intel 21152-AB is a standard PCI-to-PCI-bridge. In Win9x using Number Nines Hawkeye driver there is no support for Dual view and only the first T2R chip can be used but Direct3D acceleration works. In Win2K/XP both cards get detected correctly and can be used like two graphics cards (driver comes with WinXP). I have not tested the NT4 dual monitor driver.
The Philips SAA7146 Multimedia Bridge Scaler is used for the Meridien III when connected.
