    Multi-head system

    As mentioned, just pop it in! It could be another PCI-e card, or even an older PCI card. I have mixed brands, but would stick with one brand, so both can use the same driver. I had the best luck with mixed brands when I would let the secondary card run on the drivers that came with the OS. Since...

    Multiple Monitors

    Piece of cake. Just right click on the display you want to be primary in the Display Control Panel and select Primary. You can also click on the display and check the box for Use as Primary. When done, just repeat to swap back. Just be warned that if you have a lot of icons on your desktop in a...

    7800 GT vs 8600 GT ???

    Thanks for the info guys! This is what I was looking for. The newer technology has such a longer lifespan than in previous years, I don't have to keep up on stuff like I used to. I can remember building completely new systems every 6 months, but now my dual Opty 244's keep up pretty decent with...

    7800 GT vs 8600 GT ???

    I have been watching a little, not a lot mind you. Seems they keep going for more. When the price is that close and the newer one performs a hair better, might as well go new. Remember, I will never run SLI.

    7800 GT vs 8600 GT ???

    Cool, if a $110 8600 GT equals my old $310 7800 GT, then that is just what I am looking for!

    7800 GT vs 8600 GT ???

    I have a XFX 7800GT XXX that has served me very well, and still meets all my needs. I had planned to purchase another, but never got around to it. Now they are EOL and I need to add a second card. SLI is not a factor, I am need to push 4 DVI panels. I haven't been able to dig up a decent...

    MMC 9.13 and 9.02

    I am going to bump this old thread because I am also looking for the MMC 9.02 drivers for my AiW Radeon. I tried the 9.13's, they perform awful. Weird sound loops and jittery picture.

    Multiple Monitors from SLI?

    I am a freelance designer and use my machines for heavy Photoshop, Design, Web and Video work. I was recently running an AGP ATI Radeon 9600Pro and a PCI Radeon 9200, which would support 2 Digital and 2 Analog displays on a dual Athlon MP. It worked great, with the minor annoying issue of the...

    Any Alcohol style apps for WinXP-64?

    Just got the dual Opteron up and running and realized Alcohol doesn't run on XP-64, the one app I didn't research. Most of my application CDs are backed up as images, and the CDs are in the Safe Deposit box. Sure I could go get them all, or burn the images to CDR-W, but I will need the...

    Heat pipes effective when mounted horizontally?

    I understand the heat pipes work on the concept of fluid vaporizing, and rising to pull away heat. Once the fluid cools it condenses and sinks back down. I see this working just fine on something like the Scythe Ninja on a horizontally mounted board. But does it loose effectiveness once the...

    Mobo suggestions for dual Opteron 940

    I am in the process of replacing my aging Tyan 2460 Athlon MP machine. The stability and performance that Tyan provided with this machine was stunning, Their support when it fried out the ATX connector was also top notch. I do similiar work to what the original poster mentioned on a professional...

    Would an analog LCD be better than Trinitron CRT?

    A good LCD will offer crisper text than a Trintron. A low end LCD will make you go blind. I have 3 of the Dell 1905's at home, 2 are DVI and 1 is Analog, you have to strain to tell a difference. At work I have a couple analog 15" and 17" Dell displays, that I have used with my Matrox P650 to...

    Dell 1905FP or Samsung 940B

    I absolutely love the 1905s!! Over the last 6 months I have installed over a dozen of them. I use a pair of 1905's at work on a Matrox P650 for graphics & multimedia, awesome. We have switched over about 8 or our 12 other creative staff from Apple 21" Studio Display CRTs to 1905's, they all...
