Lightbulb Video card inquiry

This may sound like a really stupid question, but whether it is or not i just want to know about it. I have a radeon 9800 PRO (128mb). While looking on aida32 i noticed that the video card was getting recognized as:
"Radeon 9800 Pro-secondary (128mb)" AND " Radeon 9800 Pro (128mb)" under the video adapter section. What does this secondary mean?

It's normal. Check in your device manager and you'll see two display adapters listed there too. I think it's because the video card has capability for dual output.
