Diamond Viper Graphics Cards/Win NT ----multimonitor Len has suggested this earlier. Maybe he can expound: Can you have different resolutions on each monitor? Does it remember what things you had running on each monitor each time you turn on the computer? Software configuration issues? Less tweeking involved than the Millenium II multimonitor solution? (Using the Millenium and Win NT - how many monitors will work - just two?) Looks really good. diamondmm.com techstocks.com PCI 128 chip 4 SGRAM 230 Ramdac $99 - $20 rebate = $80 Multiple monitors are only supported in Win NT. Which would be fine with me. I suppose you can run more than two cards. Anyone know for sure? ------------------------------- My current situation of PCI slots: Asus P2b-L is only marketed outside of the US. Vendors here get them through channels. ESC can't get it for me. Totally Awesome is trying. If I end up with just a P2B, then I'll end up using one slot for the ethernet card, send get a isa sound card, and use up the three other slots for monitors. To get four monitors, I would have to go ISA ethernet card as well. Is there a major disadvantage to an isa ethernet card? Or just pay the $650 for the Colorgraphics card. That would cost $350 more and I would be able to have PCI sound and ethernet and have 1 extra PCI. Another option is not to run all four monitors off this dream computer. Just run two or three. Then find a way to add another graphics card to my current Compaq that has its graphics card built into the mobo. Anyone, if I add a PCI card to this Compaq, would Win 98 recognize the graphics card built into the mobo? Can't find any info out about the mobo or the card. S.W.
