Per the scalping comment, i do a few here and there. I also try and set up some longer trades. For me, just makes it easier to sit down, look over everything, and make some macro/micro decisions. If I had to pull up charting based on intermarket analysis for each item, I'd honestly get too confused. This is also a secondary job to my main IT company, so time to go through 1 by 1 not always doable/practical without this help.
As for the video card question, just a bunch of cheapy PNY dual PCI! cards (if you can believe) with i think ATI chipsets/decent memory. like $30 each. Granted I have like 6, but was so cheap, was hard to get more expensive multi-monitor card. There is some lag bottleneck going on with manipulating charts, but is of no concern because my charts are mostly static anyways.
I could see the setup costing a lot, but given I had the two machines already, bought cheapy cards, and resell computers (just seperated out the monitors) it was actually quite inexpensive.
