How many monitors are you using?
-
Currently using a dual head nVidia card. I ordered a Matrox Parhelia[^] card, which has three heads. The dual card that I'm using now is an AGP card, I tried installing a PCI video card, thinking that maybe with Win XP I could get it to work. Though the card installed with all the drivers, the system would not allow me to use both AGP and PCI video. I have a buyer for the dual head card, so that plus some deep digging for cash gets me the matrox card. Of course, now I'm waiting for someone to tell me that the two cards could have worked, but then I wouldn't have an excuse to buy a new card. So don't ruin my sorrow. :) You can get a triple Matrox Pahrelia at NewEgg.com[^]

Congratulations on the Parhelia. They are lots of fun. Make sure you visit the Matrox Users Resource Center (MURC)[^]. They know everything there is to know. Read my post lower down in this thread to see uses for a Parhelia.

I'm using either two monitors and a TV or three monitors. I use the 2+tv combo when I code, where I have VS on one monitor and help, ICQ and IRC on the other. I might play some nice movie or music video on the TV. If I have all three monitors connected, I do usually have VS on center, help on right and Opera on left. When I get bored I play some Q3 or JK3 in Surround on all three monitors. As you might suspect, I have a Matrox Parhelia. I have 1x19" and 2x17" monitors.

I bought mine from JME Data[^] But that was in July 2002, I did only select them because they were the first ones to have it in stock. If I were to order one today, I would use Komplett[^] or Dustin AB[^]. Dustin has IMO better support and way better shipping. Don't be afraid to contact me about any issues with the card. I've used it for a while now so I'm quite familiar with it.

Currently, I'm using two and it's soooo nice! You can keep MSDN Library opened in the second and VS.NET in the first. You can also keep all your IM programs (as for me, I have Sonork and ICQ) in the second and Winamp and desktop icons etc. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later!

One here at work, but two at home. Never going back, in fact I may try and see if I can get a third sometime soon. :rolleyes: One thing I haven't figured out if it's possible to do yet is to have VS.NET span both monitors? I'd like to have a source file open on each display. Do you know if that can be done?

No. :( It would be handy to have a source file open on each display. Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later! UIN: 50302279 Sonork: 37318 Interests: C++, ADO, SQL, Winsock, 0s and 1s

Great, thanks! I'll save some money first and then perhaps upgrade to that card. I want three good monitors first. Right now I'm using a 17" as primary and a 15" as secondary. I want three 17" monitors right now! :) Rickard Andersson Here is my card, contact me later! UIN: 50302279 Sonork: 37318 Interests: C++, ADO, SQL, Winsock, 0s and 1s

Still I would like another Mac with OSX to test out Safari and the OSX IE browser. Our Mac is one of the origanl blueberry iMacs. Pretty funky looking but really for R13k it was a total rip off. regards, Paul Bluegrass South Africa Ravi Bhavnani wrote: it's sold on EBay and shipped from China (on how to inspire confidence in your product) Crikey! ain't life grand?

A while back I was running 3 monitors 1 * 21", 2 * 17", but I needed the desk space for other stuff, so only have 2 at the mo. May go back to 3 again soon. :) Debugger, application and MSDN open on different windows! :cool: Roger Allen Sonork 100.10016 Were you different as a kid?

What I usually do is set one monitor for sources and move all the toolbars to the second monitor. A guy here also set his VS.NET environment to work as MDI and he can tile windows so he sees one file on each monitor. It's a bit of hassle positioning windows, but it works. IMHO, too much hassle. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

Tools/Options/Environment/Settings/MDI Environment. Then, resize your VS.NET to span both monitors, and resize the child windows. As I said, IMHO, is too much hassle. You can do it on anything you choose - from .bat to .net - A customer

I've found it, but it doesn't work with my nView settings I use. I've made it so when I maximize a window it doesn't get maximized over both monitors, so I thought I could move the child windows's outside VS.NET, but no I couldn't.

I'm running the double duece 17" CRTs. Although I prefer to keep CP in one and VS.NET in the other :) btw. I get a free t-shirt for that right? ;) Matt Newman
