Next message: Dan Schwartz: "RE: [WinMac] connecting a SuperMatch 21" display to a PC"
Windows 2000 also has that built in; however I haven't tried it yet. Matrox
Millenium series cards have multimonitor drivers, even for NT4.
Also, Matrox has the dual head Millenium G450: I have a photo editing customer
who has a pair of 21" monitors dual booting NT4 (for the drum scanner sessions)
and Win2k (for the photo editing and Pictrography sessions), and the
performance of the Millenium G450 is absolutely AWESOME.
Lastly, there are 2 monitor and 4 monitor cards (S3 chipset, I believe) that
implement the screen splitting directly in hardware, i.e. the video card
presents a single screen .AND. standard driver to the operating system, say,
2048 x 1536; and then it splits it into four 1024 x 768 display outputs. This
means you can even do 4 monitors with ANY windoze... Even 3.1! These display
adapters are heavily used in the financial sector, like in stock market trading
pits. I forget offhand who makes these special boards, though. Anybody?!
Cheers!
