Alexis, Since I always do multi display, well their is nothing better than linux. As to my 200 dollar Nine card. I so far have found no test or application where I can notice any difference between it and an SGI workstation. Well that't not completely true, several times tests performed blew away a toaster and an octane. The O200 is at least as good. I suspect the SGI visual workstation will perform as least as well as the Number Nine card. Instantaneous Response(IR) is what I get no matter what I try to do with the nine card. I assume the SGI visual workstation will also give me IR, except maybe not because of NT.

Oh I been playen again. This is my idea of a visible PC with 4 displays. Damn those flat panel display that came with my Number Nine Digital Flat Panel Pak are supper sweet fine. OH YEAH!
