[gentoo-user] OT triple display

[James]

Hello,

I'm putting together a workstation, I want
it to have 3 screens (24).

I want it to be AMD-Gigabyte system. I've settled
on the new FX8350 processor. I ran across this mobo:

Triple Display Support – AMD Eyefinity
GIGABYTE FM2 series motherboards are the first to take advantage 
of AMD Eyefinity technology, allowing users to extend their OS desktop 
by connecting up to three high-resolution digital displays. Triple 
displays mean more real-estate for enhanced productivity, plus the 
ability to enjoy panoramic triple screen 3D gaming thanks to AMD’s 
optimized Eyefinity driver technology.

Any feedback on the triple head AMD FX8350 system would be
appreciated.

The FX8350 is a AM3+ platform cpu, it will not fit a FM2 motherboard.
You need an FM2 cpu for an FM2 motherboard or you get an AM3+
motherboard with the FX8350. The FX8350 does not contain a GPU like the
FM2 cpu (or APU as AMD like to call them).

HTH
