Thane, I started the thread and have successfully implemented 3 monitors or two Radeon hd 2600 pro PCI-e cards. I am running an ABIT IP35 PRO motherboard which has two PCI-e x16 slots. One is electrically x16 and the other is x4. I have a 19" DVI LCD and 42" LCD HDTV on the primary card (x16) and a 15" analog LCD on the second. It works flawlessly. After installing the ATI drivers and catalyst software, Display Properties | Settings shows 4 available monitors. One thing I noticed (and half expected) is that when I added the second video card (I have 2 512 MB cards), my "recognized memory" fell from 3.5 GB (of 4 GB installed) to 3.0 GB. Makes me think that Windows XP x64 might come in handy. My video cards have dual DVI outputs and I use an analog adapter to run the 15" VGA LCD. Good luck with your setup. Jim Maki [EMAIL PROTECTED]
