I'm the only LabVIEW programmer here and just talked out IT guy into "storing" an extra 19" monitor next to the one already on my desk. He had to install a PCI video card so I have two cards. The new one is a PCI ATI RADEON 7000 and the original is an AGP ATI RAGE TURBO PRO 2X. Both work well but I had to install the latest drivers for the new card. Before that dragging objects on the screen (for that card only) was slow. I'm very pleased with the results.

How does the graphic card handle moving the display data from one monitor to another. I was considering the ATI Radeon 9800XT. Great for gaming as well. I remember someone talking about having the diagram window on one machine and the panel window on another. No more fussing around with the windows to do your work faster. Also, how about those kvm monitor switches? Anyone used those in conjunction with the dual monitor graphic cards? Is going with an extra PCI board as well as the ATI Radeon 9800XT AGP board the better route than running both monitors off of the same card? Thoughts? Comments? One other off topic question. Have you guys/gals been buying and using LCD monitors? Anyone running them for a long time? I keep seeing used monitors show up on ebay that have a few/many lcds burnt out or broken in the display. How hard and expensive are they to repair if this is the case? I can solder as I'm a EE by nature. Scott
