Monitor Video Card Question I'm having a trading computer built by SYS. It will have 4 monitors. The video card is Matrox Millennium G550 (dual head) AGP dada da da who knows - not me. So I described to my builder that what I was really looking for was essentially a 4 foot wide monitor where I could take quote feeds, charts, L2s, a chat room, and maybe a cam feed of my cat and, with the flick of my mouse, move them all over in and about these 4 monitors or perhaps within any one of them. Well it sounded to me like 2 of the monitors are plugged into the card and the other 2 are plugged into some other place on the computer so that what I'm getting is the ability to do all of the above but only between #1 and #2 monitors or between #3 and #4 monitors - not among all of them. I'm wondering if this computer needs some different kind of video card. Mention was made on elitetrader.com of some more sophisticated type card (maybe something that all 4 plug into?) but I didn't understand the discussion. My guy at SYS is great but he has never done a setup for a trader and doesn't really have a clear picture from me of what I'm trying to achieve (no wonder). Any suggestions would be appreciated and thanks as always. George K.
