Fred, killerapp.com is also a GREAT place to check prices. They are almost always THE lowest I ever find (great hard drive link ZP). Matrox does have both two ($450-MSR $500) and four ($600-MSR$700) port cards. The new Colorgraphics line is not fully out until Feb. but looks promising. As far as monitor recommendations I have been using a CTX-VL950 19" wich has, to my eye, a great picture and can be found at killerapp.com for $410 (once you have 19" you never go back). If you will be satisfied with two monitors (or maybe three depending on how many open PCI slots you have) two single vid cards is by far the way to go. And a general consensus, myself heartily included, is that you can do no better than Matrox. If however you have a shortage of slots or you want four monitors, multi monitor cards are becoming more and more reasonable, the Matrox four port at $150 per port. This is surely going to get better and better for us as more strong companies continue in this market and the ranks of Day-traders grows. In three years we will look back on the days of multiple single cards and shake our heads chuckling (I certainly hope so). ZP, great post, full of links and facts. Just the way I like 'em. mowa
