>>I've read somewhere that, with the new generations of video cards, the problem with performance is lack of CPU power to drive the cards, not lack of capability in the video.<< I disagree with this statement. It is the application that determines how much CPU processing power is required. Some applications like 3D games may require a lot of CPU processing power to run on some adapters. I am sure there is an exception to the rule but to the best of my knowledge trade station applications require very little CPU processing power to display data. >>Have you been able to successfully implement a video card which supports multiple monitors? Multiple video cards in one system?<< Here are links to other SI participants who have been able to successfully implement a multimonitor trade station.
