    Dual monitor in SLI mode?

    Did you ever get an answer to your question. From what I have found I believe I understand correctly that hooking your cards into sli mode makes one a slave to the other. The video output of one is now directed to the other card so each part of the image can be put together. That is why only...

    need advice for PCI-E video card

    Hi, I have a similar problem, but more complex. I was going to get the Asus A8N32-SLI board not to run SLI but to just get two PCIe 16 graphics cards. One to run each of my 20" monitors at 1600x1200 using their DVI ports. Can I run both off one card with two DVI ports? Do any support two...

    Please point me towards a LCD monitor & PCIe card

    You might want to check out the Proview PL2072b or Sylvinia CL2072b 20" monitors 1600x1200 native 700:1 contrast 20ms response. Best Buy has them for $350 (after 150 rebate). Using them for work and they so far seem to be real nice. Only one has two dead pixals (both stuck on grey) but you...

    Are "average" computer users comfortable with LCD native resolutions?

    I recommend a 19" over the 17" and let them run at the highest 1280x1024 if possible. I always change the window settings to make the fonts and icons bigger. Most of the time they prefer that. The screens are real crisp when running at the native resolution. If they don't like the 19" it's...

    AGP 6800GS now in stock and available

    Got a question. I'm building a rig now and it's kind of getting out of hand :-). I got two 20" 1600x1200 monitors and need to drive them at full resolution for work. I need them attached to the same machine. I just assumed I could get a dual-dvi card (6800GT) and run both monitors off...

    LCD Buyer's Guide

    Hey Just thought I'd throw this out for those looking for cheap screen area. I got two 20.1" Proview (PL2027B) monitors from Best Buy for $350 after rebates (they still have the Sylvnia CL2027b which is the same it appears). I don't have a card to drive them at 1600x1200 yet, but have one...
