Re: Matrox Parhelia and FS
hi
today (very recently and actualy in test)i use a double pciexpress video
card (2 X MSI NX7800GTX 256) on P5N32-SLI ASUS motherboad
with : P4 3.8Ghz 2 Go DDR2 power 580Watts . (some fans also!!!)
so i can use a four monitors desktop. but my need is only 3 to have an
extended cockpit view.
i have today only 2 display in 1024x768 and 1 in 800x600 when i switch to
full screen.(it's my onlyone problem, else it's realy splendid , smoothly,
and a real pleasure to have the same wheater and AI to the 3 screens)
when i'm in windowed mod i can put the three screens in 1200x1024.
the 2 good screens aren't on the same card.
if somebody have an idea.....
best regards

Re: Matrox Parhelia and FS
I had considered switching to an SLI capable motherboard, but I think I read
somewhere that even with two dual head SLI cards, you are still limited to
a horizontal span across only two monitors. Is your system capable of
spanning the FS forward view across three monitors?
