Matrox G450 MMS
After exploring multi-monitor options it seem I am constantly referred
to Matrox products. Presently I am running " Presently running a system equipped with a GeForce4 MX 440 AGP 4X 64 MB dual head card, running two monitors." This system was built for me maybe two years or so ago. At this point I am interested in running three, four monitors. More than likely I would need to start from scratch. Is there a "how to" build site for building a four monitor system? Perhaps what to look for in a motherboard, etc. Karl |

do you only want 4 monitors?
if then you can get the above, or you can get a couple of PCIe card, aka Matrox P650i, or a couple of Nvidia (i didn't say that here! ooops!) you are not informing what sort of quality output you are looking for, there really are plenty of options, depending on your hardware, anything newish will most likely be able to do the job. I have hooked up 4 monitors with my Parhelia (using 3 monitors) + a PCI card for a forth. I have another system with two Quadro FX 3400 PCIe which can either do SLI on one monitor, or run 4 seperate monitors, like 4x 24" Dell 2405, currently only 2 connected! Using Nview or Iview, you can configur your setup! if you are looking for color accuracy then you need seperate LUT for each, in order to calibrate each of them. which normally means for seperate cards!! good luck and have fun. There are also some exsotic solution, but I am sure if you had that sort of cash you wouldn't be asking questions here!!! No offence meant! Henrik Down Under "Karl" wrote in message ...

You need to specify what mainboard you have and what you are expecting to
get out of the monitors. Matrox does have great support for this IMHO Henrik PS: get a PCI card with dual head! "Karl" wrote in message ...

Henrik,
Actually, I'd like of hear some of those solutions. Our tech guy outfitted the first dual-monitor system a few years ago, and at this point I'm looking for solutions that maybe I can implement sans tech guy. Henrik, no offense taken. I have never viewed newsgroups as an option for the short of cash. Have received some great solutions over the years from newsgroups.

Hi Karl,
didn't mean to offend, but when it isn't really specified what the application is, then it is pretty wide open in terms of choices if your wallet is deep enough. I kind of like the exsotic gear, when it comes to computers, but that is not to say it is what everyone else what and neither of us can afford. any did you find a solution? the easy was, if you started from scratch would be to get a mainboard with PCIexpress, with two PCIe slots preferable with 16x (faster) and plug two Nvidia cards in for SLI, but use them for their dual monitor output (of each card), connect the four monitors, if newer, using DVI connector (better connection - digital ) reboot a few times and define which monitor is which. voila you are now also the comp. tech in company! best of luck Kindest regards Henrik "Karl" wrote in message . ..
