Re: multiple monitor cards

Stuart:

I am currently using the G400Max card with dual monitors.  I previously used
an Evolution2 card from Colorgraphics.  If you want to run 3 or 4 monitors I
would suggest getting a 4 port card from Appian Graphics or Colorgraphics.
I recently spoke with one of the tech's at Colorgraphics that writes the
drivers and he indicated that sometime in Q4 they were going to introduce a
new AGP 4 port card - they are going to call it the Predetor Pro (same as
current AGP 2 or 4 port card);  however, this card will have 32meg per port
of memory.  Not to say your solution wont work, but it would be cleaner to
use only one card to drive all the monitors (AGP), and you would not have to
use a PCI slot for an additional card.  The downside is the 4 port AGP card
with 32meg's per port was going to run around $795.  See
www.colorgraphic.net and www.appiantech.com.

Hope it helps,

Ed
