I could understand why someone might want 2 monitors connected to a computer
for monitoring the market. But anymore than that I think would be
ridiculous. Think about it, the processor has to spend it's time not only
receiving the data from the datafeed, storing it in memory and calling API
sets to store in a local database, send it to another part of the system for
calcuations of indicators and such, as well as updating the visual display
on BOTH systems... at a High Resolution?! Damn, talk about bringing your
system to a crawl.
Now, if you were to use these displays just as snapshots and not real time
updates for short intervales (ie every tick) then maybe it won't be as
ridiculous. Granted, I'm being extreme in my example but it's food for
thought never the less. I figure you'd be better off buying a rack mounted
system if you will, and connect dual monitors to each system.
In addition, IF the program was written correctly the data stream can be
shared between each system without having to subscribe multiple times to the
same datafeed.

Subject: New Matrox Dual/Qad cards
>From a Matrox Correspondance:
The new Matrox G200MMS should be available near the start of February. It
is a PCI card which will be available in a Dual or Quad version with 8MB per
channel, it will allow you to display up to 16 displays with 4 cards at
resolutions up to 1800x1440 per monitor. The G400 will most likely not be
released in a PCI version.
