Re: [Logic_Cafe] Cheapest Way to Dual Monitors?

2007-05-29 by GAmoore@aol.com

I use a Radeon board, I think its 7100 and cost about $120 about 2 years ago. 
With that I run a 23" cinema and 19" vga from the same board. I don't think 
it takes that big of a hit on the cpu - thats what the graphics board is for. 
There is 1/2 second lag when changing screensets but that could be the graphics 
board too. The people who would really know this is the "gaming" community - 
the hardcore computer gamers who want the absolute fastest machine possible.
