Thanks for the NT heads up and evaluation of Viper/multimonitors I am leaning more towards Win NT. S.W.

>>but here's some good news<< ----Matrox vs Diamond Matrox has developed NT drivers that allow multiple monitors using any combination of the Matrox Millenium I and II, and the Mystique. Matrox allows up to four monitors , as does the Viper, in NT. And as you know, Viper requires you to use only Viper PCI cards in a MM setup in NT.<< Sounds great. Since NT will support more than 2 monitors and Viper and Mystique cards are getting very cheap, I will go with Windows NT. Does anyone have a preference: Diamond Viper: Looks really good. diamondmm.com techstocks.com PCI 128 chip 4 SGRAM 230 Ramdac $99 - $20 rebate = $80 Matrox Mystique: 220 ramdac 64 chip 4sgram - $50 matrox.com Besides price and hardware, who has the best drivers? Diamond doesn't allow you to set different resolutions on each monitor, and it doesn't remember where you left the programs on each screen once you turn it off. I wonder if MATROX's new NT drivers give you more control. Anyone who is using the NEW NT drivers and any two matrox cards, could you respond? Regards, S.W.
