Original Message 1/28 01-Dec-03 @ 09:50 PM - dual video cards
I'm looking to go dual monitors and I'm wondering a few things. First - is agp or pci better? I have both available. Problem now is when I change from track view to console view, the audio stutters and sometimes drops out. I currently use a pci vid card. I am going to be working with 2 17" monitors - both fairly old. I don't need super graphics as all I will be doing is music stuff. I have an MSI board, Athlon system. Any recommendations? Thanks.

If yer not needing speed-freak graphics, dual head cards are very reasonably priced, I think.

plenty of graph for music, and none too expensive either
Im not averse to buying used, and have scored two for under $40 each
new I think theyre $80
try www.newegg.com

go check that price before you get all mad...cuz that might not be right
probably is...
you dont "need" that 128 tho...so if its $10 diff...dont worry about it. graphics performance has nothing to do with audio apps

More onboard memory, faster DAC etc. equates to higher supported resolutions, colour depths and refresh rate but yeah, 128MB is overkill for music..

Only have 1 tft (that also has vga input which I'm using now) but planning on getting a 2nd one in the future. I allready use dual at work and it absolutely rocks!
Ah yeah... and it's very important that there's no extra cooling fan on it. I'd rather have a slower card or pay more and not have yet another fan making noise.

For the dual DVI the Matrox Pahrelia is pretty insane. It's overkill for an audio setup for sure (lowest card is 128mb ram, I forget the other specs but they're pretty high performance), but it still shines in the compatability area and it's actually a 3 head card! Their focus is still on high performance 2d and 3d for the CAD and graphics industry rather than gaming, jut like the older cards.
So now you can fulfill your dream of having a 2 monitor setup! lol
