| 121612 | 2003-02-17 08:22:00 | BTW - Check into Trademe, or use T&E or something similar, it'll cost you $20-$50 for a second card, depending on what type you get :D | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 121613 | 2003-02-17 09:13:00 | we run two screens at work--it is like having one screen spread across two--eg both windows are in effect at half screen so allowing one each side. Can be one program or two or more--as on one screen. we use dual head gf2 and gf4 cards--you need an adaptor for the second tv out head to run vga. Matrox also have cards like this. Matrox 400 will do it I saw an AGP dual head GF2 card on trademe the other day for $20. Although care would need to be taken to see that it is compatible with AGP slot---2x or 4x.--although I'm not really up on this side of it. there is a program called Twin-View which supports two screens and I think you can adjust the screens individually |

| 121614 | 2003-02-17 10:02:00 | There is a guy who writes for the English PCPro (John Honeyball I think) who has been running three monitors off one box. He wrote about it in the Nov or Dec issue. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 121615 | 2003-02-17 22:24:00 | Ive run 5 all on S3 Trio or Virge cards, on a P75 with 64MB RAM on 98SE! Ran fine too! |

| 121618 | 2003-02-19 00:27:00 | I found out how they're running two screens seperately (different views, different resolutions) at work... it's not a VGA output, it's DVI :D Mike. |

| 121619 | 2003-02-19 02:14:00 | That's a s"slightly" different technology. :D The Feb issue of Ausatrlian PC has reviews of various video cards. There's one PCI card with 2 VGA outputs fed from a GeForce4 chip. It;'s described as too slow to be useful (that is, for games :D), except for two running monitors. That's only $299. Theres another, with 2 DVI outputs. Why stop at 2 when that one will handle three? At only $A781. The reviewers weren't impressed much by any of them; the most impressive part is the prices . |
