3+ monitor support in Win 7
Hi everybody,
I have been searching for quite some time for multiple monitor solutions. What I want is the ability to split my desktop between three monitors (no gaming). This is so I can have video lectures on one monitor, write on another, and have resource data on the third. I'm sick of switching between views to get data.
I have found the ATI 5750 video card, which supports 3 monitors with Eyefinity, but you MUST use a Display Port hookup for one monitor. If you don't have a Diplay Port monitor, then you must get an active adapter, which is backordered everywhere. (Plus it is expensive...)
I want to either slap two slim video cards into a system or use the onboard video and put in one more video card to get 3 to 4 monitor support. I know that in theory they must have like drivers to be used in Windows under the new setup (wince Vista).
What are my options? Has anyone gotten a triple or quad video setup to work under Windows 7? What hardware do you have and what'd it cost? (I want to do this under $200-ish.)
Thanks!
Dave
