RE: Multiple monitors in windows

["Paul Gale" <groups@xxxxxxx>]

The Parhelia is very good at 3D (even running 3 displays). Of course it's
not up to the latest nVidia or ATI chipsets I believe. I've not done any
benchmarking but there is plenty out in Internet land. Maybe Tom's hardware
guide has something?

It's just SOOOOOO great to be able to run 3 BIG monitors and have numerous
apps full screen opened simultaneously. Certainly wouldn't want to go back
;)

One set of issues..

Both Jen and I run a 22" iiyama and a 15" LCD, I use a G-force 4
twinhead,
and Jen uses a Geforce2 and a seperate PCI voodoo 3 Card.

I find I can't swing video from one screen to another without problems,
video overlay on primary display only :( whereas Jen has no problems.. I
think the nvidia twinhead cards are to be avoided...

that being said, I hate working on systems without the screenspace :(

Paul, hows the 3D performance on the parhelia? have you run a 3DMark
benchmark on it? reason I ask: I would *love* to go 3-way, but I need a
fair
bit of 3D grunt on my main display for the gaming ;)

Ian.
