Sorry wanted to add that you can have up to six of these USB Video cards running at a time (four on a mac).
From: Mark Scott Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 8:55 AM To: 'NT System Admin Issues' Subject: RE: 3-Monitor Solutions I have the DisplayLink USB video cards in production. Easy to implement, mostly reliable and cheep. The problem most people have is that our XP boxes don't recognize it upon each boot. Unplugging the USB and putting it back it does fix that problem. http://www.displaylink.com/shop/index.php?product=5 I have the IOGear and the EVGA Plus +16. Both use the same hardware and drivers. They can push a 19" easily with a DVI connection. Usually running around 60-70/ea. Before I purchased the USB video cards I tried to use two video cards. If you go down this road, I'd suggest that you use the same manufacture for both cards. Mark From: Jim Slattery [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 28, 2009 8:39 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: 3-Monitor Solutions We're looking at adding a third monitor to our call center workstations. (New phone system takes up a screen, and they need two others for casework). Does anyone have a suggestion for a relatively cheap desktop-level (office apps, no 3D, no games) video card that handles 3 monitors... or have you tried it and decided on two cards instead?
