Re: Quad monitors. One more try,

2007-11-27 by nslim

For Windows XP, I would recomend a recent ATI card like from
the x1XXX series or better. Why becuase youl need the system
(XP) to recognise them as seperate in order for the calibration
to stick. All nvidias currently can not do this in XP (only
in vista but that has another problem in that respect that 
when you go to standby the calibration gets lost on resume -
not a bug only a feature.)
