Your vid card wouldn't work with my AMD processor, would it? I think we already discussed that before, though. lol
Anyway, love the set up. Those are nice monitors. Are they 4:3?
The monitors are all Samsung SyncMaster 930Bs (came out maybe 5 years ago?) 5:4 ratio, native 1280x1024) 19"
My old video card should work on any machine with a PCI Express slot I believe
So whichever of you two wants it, or I could flip a coin
As far as using 16:10 monitors... someday perhaps! But monitors aint cheap and as was pointed out, space is a concern. These already take up the entire desk. And honestly, any wider and I'd have to start swiveling my head quite a bit to see everything. If anyone's curious, the card I'm using is a Radeon 6850. This particular card is about $170 or so. The adapter is a display port to DVI-D "active/powered" which was about $80 alone. In order to run the 3 screens off the one card, you must either use one "display port" type monitor, or an adapter like that. (the other two monitors can be HDMI or DVI/VGA)
Sadly, everything seems to be going widescreen these days, so no more squarish monitors
But I guess the next step that people have taken is to use 5 widescreen monitors arranged side by side but vertical instead. The display port connection can support up to 6 screens on its own.
