Hello Street,
PMFJI, but I've learned a little today also. I'm going to check into the Matrox Millenium II ... because I just bought a machine that has one!
I'm getting ready to assemble a computer and I want it capable for
my buiness needs. I'm a daytrader and run several programs on several
outdated computers. I figure if I build one good computer, I can run
2-3 monitors off it. I'm not a techie and I'm trying to do it right
the first time, and not pay twice. Lot of techies hang out here, and
I want to thank you for your advice.
I just bought three new systems from dreamtech.com a company out in Fremont, CA in the Bay Area. $2k for a fully loaded Pentium II 233Mhz w/ 128MB and 6.5GB HD *and* a Matrox Mellenium II card with a Viewsonic 17" .25 Monitor ... and on and on.
Since I bought two of these, I learned today that I should be able to put the two video cards in one of the systems, put the two 17" monitors on it, and I'll be rolling! No special cards ... all off the shelf hardware.
Do I wait for Windows 98 or just use the currently available
multimonitor graphics cards? The one I like is the Appian J3
($840-8mb) I'm a value oriented consumer.
If the Matrox will do it, at $171.00, then I think it's a better move. That card is a real standard card ... no custom multimonitor cards needed ...
Off my internet connection: I run IE4, eudora, #daytraders chat
channel, and a SOES execution software - several of the following:
vlcn.com At the same time, I have a separate
cable feed running a real time graphics software for charts and
TA.
If you haven't been using multiple monitors you'll love it!
