Thanks a lot for all the info guys - very helpful. TJ, don't worry about your memory, you probably remember more than I have ever known! 8 - )
Mike - re your 9 boxes, that is interesting. So you just use your primary computer and monitor to control lots of other boxes, and you have total control over all these other boxes just as if you were sitting at each one? Do you use all the others for running backtests/optimizations? So then I imagine you would "check in" from time to time and view the progress of your runs on each box? Do you make notes about when the opts are due to finish so you know when to check back on each box? Sorry for all the questions but this idea sounds intriguing so was just wondering how you manage it all. Thanks!

Hello, As long as your video card has old D-Sub DB25 (analog) video output it will be OK. Note that some new video cards come with only DVI outputs and then you would need to use DVI->DSub dongle to be able to connect to analog monitor http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-Sub Best regards, Tomasz Janeczko amibroker.com ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Dugas To: Yahoo - AmiBroker Sent: Friday, May 09, 2008 1:05 AM Subject: [amibroker] OT - Matching monitor with video card? Hi All - I am thinking about buying another computer for running optimizations. I can buy the computer with or without a monitor, and to keep the price down I would like to buy it without and just use an old monitor I already have. If I included a monitor in the purchase, my choices are limited to digital flat-panel monitors. My question is, will the new video card ( for a digital flat-panel monitor ) work OK with my old bulky regular monitor? Thanks a lot for any help! Steve
