    Video card with 4 DVI ports?

    Well, I went ahead and ordered two of the 5750's It's more than what I need but they will get the job done and hopefully last me at least two years or more..

    Does the ATI HD5750 support 3 monitors?

    I've seen several mentions including the AMD forum link provided above about the new video cards coming out in a few months that will address this limitation... Does anyone have more info on the topic? It seems the simplest alternative would be to buy two of these cards and run them in SLI, but...

    Does the ATI HD5750 support 3 monitors?

    Would I be able to plug three monitors into the Radeon HD 5750? 2 into the DVI port and 1 into the HDMI via DVI>HDMI convertor cable note: I'm using Linux so Eyefinity support is not yet supported

    Video card with 4 DVI ports?

    That's a good idea, actually. If I plug a monitor into the HDMI port via a DVI>HDMI convertor, will it show up simply as a 3rd monitor?

    Video card with 4 DVI ports?

    Is the Radeon HD 4850 the only card on the market that sports 4 DVI ports? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102809 It is a massive card and most definitely overkill for the type of work I do, but it seems to be the only card on Newegg that supports four DVI connections.

    Video card disappeared

    My ATI x700 has seemingly disappeared from the device manager. Simply put, it's no longer listed. The monitor connected to it shows the "no source" message. I haven't checked the card in other machines yet, but both my operating systems show the card is no longer present. The card fan is...

    Will I need more power for this?

    Thanks for the suggestio, but I have already considered it and decided that the Quad-Core Xeon is worth the extra money. I'm a developer and designer so I do a ton a lot of multi-tasking. I'll be running Vista x64 emulated through VMware inside of Linux.

    Will I need more power for this?

    I don't want to buy a new video card, and I already have the x1900..not to mention I use Photoshop everyday. Offtopic, I decided to go with the Xeon instead of the E6600. With the upcoming price cuts I can get a Quad-Core Xeon for the same amount as the E6600.

    Will I need more power for this?

    Thanks for the quick reply. I should add that I'm not going to put a lot of stress on the video cards ( i.e. no games, no video editing ) And there's probably going to be 4Gb of RAM (not 2), but I haven't decided yet.

    Will my powersupply burn out?

    I think you will be okay, but my suggestion to you is not to burn a DVD while you are moving files from one hard drive to the other and are doing video editing all at the same time.

    Will I need more power for this?

    I have a SeaSonic power supply, it has 380watts. My current hardware - Pentium D 2.8ghz 2gb DDR2 533mhz nVidia 6800GT 2x 74Gb Raptors 1x 140Gb IDE Creative X-FI sound card I've never experienced any problems with power, and the machine is very stable. However, I'd like to upgrade...

    Please Recommend me a Stable Motherboard (no budget)

    Okay so should I go with the DFI LanParty or a Tyan board? What do you guys think? The price difference is $75 By the way this isn't a server, it's a workstation that always in use (although I don't see how that makes any difference) (..and the Asus board is constantly out of stock...

    Please Recommend me a Stable Motherboard (no budget)

    Thanks for the suggestions everyone. Are most ASUS boards reliable or some of them more than others? I was using the Abit AN8 Fatality SLI board. It was well packaged and great features, but horrible reliablity and Abit's support was very poor.

    Please Recommend me a Stable Motherboard (no budget)

    So I decided that it's easier to buy a new motherboard than to deal with Abit's useless RMA service (long story here, don't ask) That said, Can anyone recommend a stable motherboard for a 939 Socket CPU? I'm not going to overclock or tweak anything, I just need a stable motherboard that...

    Sony DVD burner burns very slow

    I'm using a Sony DRU 810 which has a maximum burning speed of 16x However any DVD+R that I try to burn only goes at 4x I've tried different discs and different software (Roxio, Nero), but it's always the same. I haven't installed any drivers because Windows seems to have recognized it...

    need your help diagnosing the hardware problem

    Yes, I removed all the parts from the case and tested it on a plastic surface. Also if it makes any difference the case I was using is an Antec P160. Any other suggestions?

    Thank you for all your responses, I really appreciate it. Unfortunately I don't have a spare Video card, I tried as you said with only bare minimum but the machine still shut down. unfortunately I don't have a spare one, or a place where I can get it. Thanks for the suggestion, but I have...

    need your help diagnosing the hardware problem

    I built this machine a few months ago and it started to intermittingly shut down. Eventually it got so common that 3 out of 4 times the machine would turn on but shut down right away The first thing I did was swap the PSU with a new one but that didn't fix it I swapped the RAM for some...
