    Hi there, I haven’t run Premiere Pro 2.0 But I am quite SURE your setup will work. I am running Premiere Pro 1.5 on a generic (read: cheap) nVidia GeForce FX5500 and GeForce FX5200. I am not so sure about the driver for your 5950 but in my case I dont really have to install another driver (they share the same driver). Almost totally plug-n-play.

    The setup looks like this:
    (SGD$83) GeForce FX5500 run on AGP, DVI + VGA goes to two 17″ LCD
    (SGD$103) GeFroce FX5200 run on PCI, DVI + VGA goes to two 17″ CRT (will upgrade to LCD soon)

    So I run a total of 4 monitor. Might reduce to 3 coz my girlfriend seems to be rather unhappy seeing me surrounded by 5 screens (4mon + 1tv) everyday.

    The setup works fine except for games and AE where the 3rd and 4th screen dont get 3D acceleration. Overlay is good so Premiere Pro shouldn’t have any problem.
    Working on AfterEffect, preview could be sluggish on the 3rd and 4th, but as long as you only put timeline, effect, and such its shouldn’t be a problem –again, the 3rd and 4th dont get 3d accel and i m still working on this issues.

    If you really have the budget and need to have 3D accel all over the screen, why dont you get Matrox Parhelia. If the budget is a constrain, your 5950 should work well with 5200.

    So go ahead and install it, if u have problem on installing it you can try to cantact me. Welcome to the family of multi-mon users 😀

    cheers!
