Dual Dell U2412 monitors w/ MacBook Air and Matrox dualhead2go dp

Hi,

According to Matrox, a new MacBook Air with a DualHead2Go (Display port edition) will only push the native resolution to these monitors at 50Hz.

The optimal resolution is 1920x1200 @ 60Hz.  Does this mean that if they receive 1920x1200 @ 50Hz, nothing will display?  Or will it just be "slow."  I'm not using this for videos/gaming/etc.; strictly productivity apps, so any kind of motion artifacts are not a big deal.

I did search the forum, but wasn't sure any previous posts applied to me.

According to the the manufacturer and our engineering team, 50Hz is not supported.
