OT Hello. I have been having trouble setting up 3 monitors, using the Abit BH6 motherboard. See #reply-6323 (link does not work, so message is copied below). It sounds like you have 3 monitors up & running with this board, & I wonder if you might be able to give me some pointers. I was referred by the kind folks at the DREAM Machine. Thank you. d.alexander

Wonder if anyone is running 3 monitors on a system with BH6 motherboard. Just got my new assembly from TC Computers. No problem with putting on the first 2, one of which is on a Matrox Millenium card in AGP slot, & the other on an ATI card in the most outboard PCI slot next to the AGP slot. When I add a 3rd card (also ATI, like the 2nd one) in the next PCI slot, the 3rd monitor comes online, with the first, but knocks out the 2nd monitor so I still only have 2 functioning monitors. Their tech support suggests that this motherboard won't run 3 monitors!! Any comments would be appreciated. BTW I decided not to go for the overclocking, but it does appear to be very easy to change the setting in the BIOS. Thank you. d.alexander
p.s. Just heard back from TC computers who had checked with Abit. The BH6 will not take more than 2 video cards operating simultaneously. So, I will return the assembly & start over. End of that part of the story.
