p.1 #1 · Four Monitor setup -- Help

Hi all

I've got one old XP computer which can run a 4 monitor setup with 2 video cards - but it's old, slow and I need to upgrade.

Anybody got a four monitor setup going on VISTA (or preferably) Windows 7.

(I can't switch to a MAC for all sorts of reasons so I can't go down that route).

Cheers

i dont have 4 but im running 3 monitor setup on windows 7. which video cards are you currently running?

right now i have a radeon 4850 + radeon x1300 pci card (for 3rd LCD). but the radeon PCI card is a legacy device now and if i update my 4850 card, the pci card would stop working. i'm looking to upgrade to the radeon 5750 with eyefinity which supports 3 display natively.

I had been running three monitors on three nvidia 6200 pci cards in my xp machine using cs3. When I updated the machine to windows 7, it definitely dragged down the 6200 cards--redrawing capacity suddenly became horribly choppy. I had to upgrade to a 9600 pci-express and two 8400 pci cards.
