Hello all. We are soon going to say goodbye to our computer systems which have served us valiantly and steadfastly for the past couple of years. In other words, they're hopelessly out-dated and slow, enormously lacking in RAM and processor speed, and barely capable of satisfactorily running Solitaire, let alone any of the more man-sized Photoshop procedures.
We're using PC, with dual monitors driven by a Matrox G 550 dual head video cards (AGP compatible) and the plan was to take these cards from our existing computers and use them in the new systems. However, Intel are apparently moving away from AGP to PCI Express which means that the latest generation of mother-boards doesn't support AGP video, and that means I'm looking for PCI Express compatible, dual-head video cards. Matrox don't seem to be producing anything yet, and the only information I can find on loads of different web-sites relates only to gaming frame-rates and the fantastically realistic way in which the aliens green gooey blood splashes around the landscape after you've blasted them with your 15 trillion bacterial-volt fusion percolator. Sounds enthralling, but doesn't fill me with any confidence about calibrating (Gretag Eye-One) our monitors (Sony). Anyone out there found any suitable hardware? Any help would be very welcome.
