After reading the last few posts, I'm going long ATI. You guys are out of control. ;-)

Rob Nice setup... You have to love any job that lets you take home two 19" monitors. Glad you figured out the Abit BH6 settings. I was starting to think you couldn't change it using the soft boot and would be forced to use jumpers. I just built a PII-400 system with the Abit BH6 motherboard for my work. I had to wait two weeks for the board because the dealers in Winnipeg can't keep it in stock. Best Regards KEITH

Rob, Just wondered if you had any trouble getting your 3 ATI video cards to work together. I have 3 ATI XPERT 98 cards (1 AGP and 2 PCI) running on a QDI BX1 motherboard and my system never gets beyond the Windows 98 initialization before locking up. I have narrowed down the problem to when BOTH PCI cards are installed at the same time. If I run 1 AGP and 1 PCI simultaneously, no problem. When I add the second PCI card to the aforementioned configuration, the system locks up and i end up running in Windows 98 SAFE mode. By the way, I am running the latest ATI drivers already (4.10.2440). It seems like a hardware contention problem of some kind. Any thoughts? Sue

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 To: Zeuspaul (6305 ) From: d. alexander Monday, Feb 15 1999 1:40PM ET Reply # of 6330 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.
