[H] Three monitors on XP
I know there was a thread about this earlier, but I didn't follow it closely. If I want to run two 20 LCDs and one 65 LCD, can I do this with two video cards with an Asus P5K-E and two PCIe video cards (using the DVI and VGA on one and the DVI on the other?) T

-Original Message- From: Thane Sherrington I know there was a thread about this earlier, but I didn't follow it closely. If I want to run two 20 LCDs and one 65 LCD, can I do this with two video cards with an Asus P5K-E and two PCIe video cards (using the DVI and VGA on one and the DVI on the other?) T Thane, I started the thread and have successfully implemented 3 monitors or two Radeon hd 2600 pro PCI-e cards. I am running an ABIT IP35 PRO motherboard which has two PCI-e x16 slots. One is electrically x16 and the other is x4. I have a 19 DVI LCD and 42 LCD HDTV on the primary card (x16) and a 15 analog LCD on the second. It works flawlessly. After installing the ATI drivers and catalyst software, Display Properties | Settings shows 4 available monitors. One thing I noticed (and half expected) is that when I added the second video card (I have 2 512 MB cards), my recognized memory fell from 3.5 GB (of 4 GB installed) to 3.0 GB. Makes me think that Windows XP x64 might come in handy. My video cards have dual DVI outputs and I use an analog adapter to run the 15 VGA LCD. Good luck with your setup. Jim Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I'm going to give it a shot. Loads of RAM isn't critical on this machine, so I'm sure I can live with 3GB. :) T

Who makes a 65 inch LCD?
Re: [H] Three monitors on XP
If you mean LCD flat panel as opposed to projection, Sharp and Olevia both sell 65 panels (Olevia is an OEM sharp glass). I own the Olevia, you can get one at Sam's Club for under $3K. Sony has a 70 monster for over $30K.

[H] Reboot Problem
Well it was the CPU that caused my BSOD. First time I ever had a bad Intel retail. It would work great for couple hours then poof! Of course I do not have the original box, is there any way to get Intel to replace this E6550? It's supposed to have three year warranty but I've never had to return one. ~Gary
Re: [H] PC Power Cooling 750W power supply.
Do not peel any sticker off the PSU if that's what you mean! Cutout everything on the box around the UPC send them a copy of the invoice with the serial number hand written.

There's a $30 MIR and it states: Mail this form with a copy of your sales receipt and original UPC code with serial number from product package to: Well, the UPC code on the box does not have a serial number, only the bar code, UPC 3, and model number. There is a sticker on the unit itself that has the serial number, a bar code, and the revision number. Anyone have any idea which one to send to them? I might just send them both. Thanks, Bobby
[H] I find the weird ones ?
The other day installed some phone tools and decided I do not need them, when I goto add/remove programs NONE of the installed programs are showing anyway to uninstall them. Advancec uninstaller pro shows NO programs installed. clues appreciated fp -- Tallyho ! ]:8) Taglines below ! -- Worry is the interest paid on trouble in advance.
