Derek, I have to echo this as well, which card? Although I've been using the Parhelia 256mb cards and not the quad cards - they work fantastically compared to many others i've tried (nvidia, etc) for the amount of video (particularly with 10+ large video frames, i have no video card lag). I just ordered their new PCIe card and will be trying it out "soon".

We recently got a Matrox QID card (AGP) in our node and it works great. 4 x DVI outputs. We have a Matrox Millenium P650 PCI to drive the 'operators console' TFT, so it's a 5 display machine.

All of our display machines are G5's - so we just add a second dual display card to get 4 outputs, which works well. However, for a Windows display computer, I'm not sure this would work. Any recommendations?? Thanks, Todd -- Derek Piper - [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> - (812) 856 0111 IRI 323, School of Informatics Indiana University, Bloomington, Indiana
