The HP in portrait mode is 1050 X 1680 and the 2 Dells are 1920 X 1200.  I turn 
off all Aero stuff and anything that may slow my work down.  I write and work 
on servers.  Don't need no stinkin' girly, frilly stuff.  I'll leave that for 
that sissy boy -sc [1]! :)

Subject: RE: OT - Triple Monitor Setup

I was trying to get 3 monitors off one card for my own desk (2 x 1920x1080 
panels and an HP 22") but I got a passive DP adaptor by accident. So I then 
went hunting around for other adaptors and found a PciE x2 VGA card with a dual 
head on it and stuck that in as well. Then I went searching round the office 
for monitors ...

With the internal card as well (HP 6200) I now had 7 monitors available and no 
desk space left! 7 is just a strange number of monitors, I managed almost 
10,000 pixels across, but also discovered the limitations of built in single 
line display ordering. I'm now down to 4 again - until the next time. I have 
them setup as 3 for work plus one for status monitoring at the end (much 
smaller screen)

Keep an eye on performance as every so often Aero turns off due to performance. 
I only have 8Gb Ram on the desktop and with 2-3Gb of video memory and the 
shadowing with real memory is probably what is causing it.
