    I want to run 3 monitors on 1 pc.. tips, tricks, common mistakes?

    Thanks for the responses! I'll probably go the 4770 route just to leave my gaming options open. Not a huge pc gamer but it's not out of the question...

    I want to run 3 monitors on 1 pc.. tips, tricks, common mistakes?

    I run XP and currently have a 1gb Radeon HD 4670 running 2 1680x1050 22" LCDs. I also have a 1080p LCD that I'd like to be able to run at the same time on occasion. I don't like the S-video TV out, lose a 22" option and I think I've read that you can put 2 video cards in (not in Crossfire) and...

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    @william_fontaine I hope not, that wasn't my intention... Just to give folks the heads up that if they ask, the deal is still good through Friday. Now I feel bad... I removed her name and email from my last message.

    Just ordered the Dell UltraSharp 2209WA

    I'm sure most of you know this but I've read here that some folks have been shut down on the deal... So I went to Dell Small Business and placed the monitor in my cart and then proceeded to checkout and then clicked the "chat" option... $212 thru friday...

    ATI 4670 w/fanless cooling... what idle temps are good?

    Well that was kind of depressing... I downloaded the free version of 3D Mark 06 and ran the test. I scored just over 7000. Like I said I don’t game so if those scores are low for gaming, the scores don’t really bug me too much but I had ATI CCC open on my second monitor and my video card was...

    ATI 4670 w/fanless cooling... what idle temps are good?

    Yah, that's kinda what I figured. I'm cool with it as long as its not too too high... I don't expect to tax it too much... Running at temps like that whenever the computer is on, do you think I'll have any durability issues?

    ATI 4670 w/fanless cooling... what idle temps are good?

    I have an HIS Radeon HD 4670 1GB 128-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready iSilence 4 Video Card with a fanless cooling solution. I have it because I don't game but run dual monitors and don't like the noise video card fans produce. So far I love it! My system consists of a Lian Li v1000...

    nOOb ATI question: Dual Monitors with diff background Images in XP?

    Thats an interesting trick. I actually used some of the comments on that link and just made a 2560x1024 image out of the left and right images that I had and then tiled it. So, have I just been taking this functionality for granted in all the years I've been using Nvidia video cards? It...

    nOOb ATI question: Dual Monitors with diff background Images in XP?

    I'm on my first ATI card coming from Nvidia and so far I love it. I don't game, I just run dual DVI monitors. I have what is most likely a silly question. I am running XP Pro sp3 and I've been struggling to figure out how to assign different background images to each monitor. I was reading...

    Anyone went from nvida to ati or vise versa and did you like the change?

    I have a related question. I've always owned Nvidia but recently purchased an ATI HIS passively cooled 4670 as I don't game but do run dual monitors. So far I'm loving it! I am having a hard time figuring out how to assign different images to the desktop of each monitor in Extended Mode. I...

    HDMI port wont allow a pc connection???

    So I called Panasonic again and got someone a little more helpful. I still can't tell if this is a defect or just a decision that was made during design that people are starting to get pissed about. At any rate, they are now shipping me a General Electric HDMI Ultra Prograde Extension Adapter...

    HDMI port wont allow a pc connection???

    Can someone explain to me how/why some HDMI ports don't accept a pc input? I've never heard of this. I have the Panasonic TH-50pz80u (which has an incredible picture for $1600!!) that wont allow me to plug in my pc using either of the 2 rear HDMI ports but the one in the front does work (using...

    Dell 2408WFP Now Available

    Good to know. Thanks for all the input. Gaming isn't out of the question for me. I play console games and the occasion pc game but I just doubt I'll have a personal issue with the reported lag. I'm mostly just interested in the picture quality overall in terms of picture and video perfomance...
