Using the GeForce2 GTS/GeForce2 Pro (AGP 4x) that came with the Dell 
Dimension 8200 and the Artisan 1.25 drivers I got from someone on 
the largeformatphotography forum, I finally, finally had the Art. 
calibrated. I did it with the RGP Print D65, but will change to 
Photo D65 based on some threads I have seen. I did a Win restore 
point and installed the PNY GeForce FX-5200 (PCI). I used the Win 
display settings to add the Dell LCD as the 2nd monitor. Checked the 
calibration and all was well. From my experience it does not seem 
possible to use a dual-monitor card. Since the cards I need are 
pretty cheap I would recommend the 2-card solution, but hte SONY has 
to be the primary display. Thanks for all the assistance.
