| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | I would definitely invest in 3 monitors if I could do it feasibly. Let me ask you what kind of card do you need for 3 monitors? Do you need multiple cards?  E-Mail Me IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | I use 3dfx Voodoo3 cards, 1 AGP, 2PCI. You don't need anything special to run it, just video cards that work with multimon (most newer cards do) and a computer running win98 or better. Oh, and Gateway machines don't like to run multimon, but some will work. Read more on multiple monitors at RealTimeSoft.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Oct. 00 | yeah I guess...I'm not really understanding how it works...I have an extra monitor and video card here...I wanna give it a shot is it as simple as plugging them in? or is there a little more to it than that? But why? I did it right the first time! - Orson Welles | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | av8er, it has been said that there is no porn allowed on the board, you might want to change that sig. as for trying multiple monitor... put in the second card, hook up the monitor, and fire up windows. you'll know right away if it works or not.

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | If I were going for multiple monitor i would go for the current card i have Geforce 2 Pro and those Matrox Dual Head cards. I'd be able to add a second monitor and the possibility of a third without having to get another graphics card. E-Mail Me IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | dual head cards are cool, and they have gotten cheaper recently. when I did my setup, it was easier for me to pay $70 for the voodoo3 cards, one at a time, than to buy a dual head in one shot.

| Psychopath Registered: Jan. 01 | quote: I found that Win98SE would freeze/crash three times a week. With ME, I have had maybe one or two crashes in the last three or four months. Of course, I did learn the hard way that certain older programs are incompatible with Win ME and cause your system to not start: but once I got over that, I have had nothing but good things to say about ME. I have a completely legal upgrade, thanks to work. Of course, I bought my first PS back in college for the student rate anyway, so it wouldn't have been a big hit anyway.  AIM:isdononthephone | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01 | Well I have to run older progs on windows so I guess you should research what is better for you. BTW XP is supposed to be great and I hope it is but I have some misgivings. The compaitability of 95/98/ME and the stability of 2000. Hopefully they will be able to do this. But my major problem is the piracy crap they're pulling. You can only install it on twice and then you have to call them for another serial number. What kind of shit is that. I know a lot of people that format and restart from scratch like me and that is a huge ass hassle. And if you don't register it within 14 days you will not be able to use it at all. And the fact they want to shove .wma down our throats is bs. I'd rather stick with 2000 then all the crap they're trying to pull with XP. The second they release XP with this stuff if they do, Linux will skyrocket in popularity. E-Mail Me IM me at stickysituation2 | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | av8er, welcome to the dark side. I started out with 2 monitors, now I have three. If I could find a desk to hold more, I just might do it. Windows supports up to 9!!! NINE!!! monitors.

Its hard enough to get them on the phone for anything as it is.  "Do me and you'll succeed :)" Graduate of the Rookie School for Newbies | ||||

| Hanger-On Registered: Apr. 01 | My Machine: Pentium III 700 192 MB PC100 RAM AsusTek P3V4X Motherboard ELSA Gadiac GeForce 2 GTS Video Card Soundblaster Live! Sound Card Netgear FA310TX 10/100 Network Card Viewsonic MB110 21 Inch Monitor TDK veloCD 12X CDRW Drive Kenwood 72X CD ROM Drive Western Digital 40GB 7200 RPM UDMA Hard Drive iOmega 100MB Internal Zip Drive Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical USB mouse Microsoft Internet Keyboard Pro Epson Stylus 980 USB Printer Belkin 7 Port USB powered Hub The whole thing is connected to the net through a Motorola Surfboard Cable Modem, which is routed through a Netgear RT314 4 port router/switch. All the pictures on my website are either scanned with an Epson 1640SU 2880 dpi scanner or my Kodak DC280 2.2 Megapixel Digital Camera. I run WinME, but I am looking forward to getting Win2K when I can set aside some money. I haven't noticed any stability issues with Win98SE over WinME. One of the things I liked about WinME was the "thumbnail" file view. It makes working with graphics easier. I would highly suggest you get a copy of Norton System Works 2001. It will really make your machine run better. Norton Internet Security 2001 is pretty good too, especially if you have a cable modem. I also have a Dell Inspiron 7000 laptop Pent II/233. Nice to take on airplanes, as it has a DVD drive and can play just about any game too :)  allyourbasearebelongtous  | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Sep. 00 | The Elclipse montior light is a lamp that sits on your monitor and eases eye strain by lighting up the room with backround light instead of using a regular lamp or my ceiling fan lights that cause glare on my monitor I use the Eclipse. I got it off the net I forgot what site I ordered it from. It was 40 bucks plus shipping. The best money I have ever spent. No more eye strain or pounding headaches. | ||||
