I've obtained a few older 17" monitors for dirt cheap and have been playing around with multiple monitors lately. I'll be picking up a few Matrox Mystique's as they are a good, cheap solution for extra monitors.
I've got the following setup:
Athlon XP 1700+
Asus A7N266
512MB DDR
CDROM
CDRW
SB Audigy
Geforce2 MX400 32MB
300W Power supply.
Will the PSU be enough to run the following:
Geforce2MX400 -> Main monitor
2 X Matrox Mystiques -> Two secondary monitors
(Possibly just for fun) a third Mystique running a 15" monitor
I've had no issues running my main monitor plus one secondary (with the voodoo2 drivers that hack it into thinking it's a 2d card)
If needed I could take out the Audigy, my onboard sound works just fine for my purposes anyway. I'll be building a new PC sometime soon and will have a high quality power supply for these needs, just wondering if this will be okay in the meantime. Multiple monitors are fun
