I thought that I had decided on all the parts that will go in to
the computer that I will have built.
It will be NT os
I want to run 3 monitors
Original plan was the Matrox Millenium g200 AGP
and then I thought I could put in 2 Millenium g200 PCI cards in
and I would be all set, well I can not find any Matrox PCI cards
and even the AGP cards seem to be becoming scarce.

From what I can tell the Diamond Viper V330 8mb PCI cards
will work in a multi monitor NT set up (up to 4 monitors)

diamondmm.com

Can I use more that one monitor from the same system?
Yes, the Viper V330 supports up to four monitors from one machine under Windows
NT™ 4.0, allowing for a much larger desktop area to view your work (up to
3200x2400 with 4 monitors). In order to use multiple monitors, you must have the
following:
A Viper V330 PCI card for every monitor you wish to use (maximum of four)
Windows NT 4.0 with Service Pack 3 installed
Diamond's InControl Tools for Windows NT 4.0 (these utilities are loaded when you
install Diamond's Windows NT 4.0 drivers)

Note: You cannot mix Viper V330 PCI cards with a Viper V330 AGP card.

BUY.COM has the Viper V330 for $ 77.95 and then there is a $ 30 rebate

If I did go with the Matrox AGP card would I be able to then use 2 Viper PCI cards ?
Are there other PCI cards that I could use with the Matrox g200 AGP ?

I hate to waste the AGP slot and use 3 Viper cards but in reality if it will work
I am about to pull the trigger .....I want my new puter :-)

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Tim
