Zues you and others responded to my questions a while back about multi-monitors this is where I ended up since this is a pure trading station, no graphics, nothing fancy, I went mid range P11-400 Asus P2-B mother WDC 8.4 gig LU 56k 128 SD-RAM Creative Blaster Extreme 4MB PCI's Logitech cordless mouse Win 98 and the usual other goodies plus a Resource, 8 plug surge protector with 4 battery back up 2 cheapo Proview 17's total a few cents over the $2000 mark monitors set up as 17"-20"-17" 1024 x 768 resolution since about all I know on these things is how to hit the on button it's a good thing that this worked right out of the box may take a while to get used to scrooling the mouse/curser accross 3 screens may fiddle with the resolution and/or font type/size till I get what works best for my old eyes on each application still having a small problem adjusting each window to properly fit each screen, getting there have settings at "32 bit true color; is this ok or should it be changed to "256 colors"? my biggest concern/confusion had been the PCI cards was pushed to go 8 or 16 mgs; high end cards the shop said these 4's would work fine, would replace if not so far they were right will know better this week when I have all apps running in real time; fingers crosed anyway my fear level buying this was off the scale; that was a waste of energy; turned out to be a breeze
