    Grafic Card.... confusion!

    Alain-- I'm temporarily using the G550 (not the Dual Dvi version). I have two Samsung 181T monitors (which I recommend highly). One is running digital, the other analog. There does not appear to be any difference in quality. Considering that the G550 Dual DVI version is more expensive AND...

    Grafic Card.... confusion!

    I'm using a Dual DVI and am very happy with it. I don't think you can go wrong with it. It's not a card for gaming, but for financial applications it is bullet proof. Question for Nitro: I'm thinking to add an additional PCI card to my system (G550 Dual DVI already populates the AGP) and...

    Which KVM Switch?

    Hello there-- I'm looking to add a KVM switch to my multi-computer trading setup. I'd like to be able to share a keyboard and mouse between computers so that I don't have to have multiple keyboards/mice in my trading turret. If anyone is familiar with kVMs, I'd appreciate your input. The...

    Multi Monitors

    Omega-- Thanks again for the feedback. The guy who builds systems for me speaks highly of the ASUS P4T-E. In addition, lately he has been building on the Tyan Trinity S2090 mainboard with the i845 chipset. He finds it to be a very stable board, and you save a few bucks since you can use...

    Which LCD?

    Omega Thanks for the information. Yes, I understand exactly what you mean regarding wide viewing angle -- I just wanted to confirm it with you. Your English is almost perfect -- no worries. Thanks again.

    Multi Monitors

    Omega_TS Thank you very much for your input. That's exactly the kind of information I've been wanting. I live in Hawaii ( a long way from Germany) or I would consider buying a system from you. I have a few more questions .... hope they're not too dumb. By the way, I've done a little...

    Multi Monitors

    I just ran across an interesting article on Win2k multimonitor support. Excerpt is below. Here is the link: http://www.realtimesoft.com/multimon/faq.asp#TrueMultimon. I'm not sure how current the article is -- could be more cards have true multimonitor support now. Due to a limitation in...

    Which LCD?

    Thanks Omega_ts I have read that the Eizo L685 is very high quality, but also very expensive. Have you actually seen/used one? Any other LCDs you would recommend? I have read that the Viewsonic MVP technology isn't that great. Comments? LCD's with wide viewing angles seem to be...

    Which LCD?

    I'm in the process of putting together a multimonitor trading platform, and would like some feedback regarding which LCDs are best. I've ruled out CRTs because I don't want to stare into cathode rays 12 hours a day, my space is limited, and would prefer to use something more energy efficient...

    ATI Radeon or Matrox G450 dual-monitors support...

    Magna-- You mention that you've had problems with your G450 regarding resolution/sharpness of the secondary monitor. One thing that comes to mind regards Win2k itself. I don't know if this is what is causing your problem, but it's worth looking into. First, check out this quote from the...

    Multi Monitors

    Hi Wild-- Thanks for your feedback. Some others have pointed out that certain esoteric functions of the PCI version of the Matrox G450 won't work properly unless you have an Intel chipset. Matrox themselves, in a footnote to the G450, states some compatibility issues with non Intel...

    Multi Monitors

    This question regards graphics cards, even though it starts out talking about operating systems. I'm getting ready to buy a new computer, and one of the issues is operating system. Regarding multimonitor setups, I ran across the quote below at http://www.digitalroom.net/index2.html: "Note...
