Video Card Recommendations?

[Soultrader]

Hi guys,

Anyone have any video card recommendation for 4 monitors? Im currently using two Nvidia Geforce cards and they are not good at all. Im looking for something that can boost up my graphics speed. I dont mind using 2 cards as well.

I myself am looking at the Matrox Monitor Series G450 X4 -GRAPHICS Card -MGA G450 -PCI -128 MB DDR SDRAM for about $400USD.

Hope it helps, Knyyt

Decided to go with ATI Radeon 9800 PRO, 128mb with 256bit. I looked around but was more concerned with the amount of bit. I prefer absolutely no lag on my monitors. This is a AGP version so I still need to shop around for a PCI card. At first the ATI Radeon All In One Wonder 2006 looked nice with 256mb and 256bit but unfortunately I can not find one here in Japan. Tried to get them off ebay but wont ship overseas.

Its either another PCI card or the Matrix TripleHead2Go but they dont run cheap.

I am kind of in the same boat.

Right now, I am running a PC with 2 20" monitors, and two laptops.

I am debating getting two more monitors and a PCI card for my primary desktop (I am currently running the two monitors off a PCI-E card), or just getting a second computer with two monitors.

ha, looks like we're in the same boat, but I've got my eyes on the ATI FireMV 2400 PCI BUS Quad 128MB Display Adapter.

please don't outbid me. :p

I lost out by $0.87 from my first attempt.

eBay.ca: ATI FireMV 2400 PCI 128M QUAD bulk 100-505131 (item 320084430201 end time 21-Mar-07 10:22:59 EDT)

anyone interested if one of these?

bulk order of 5 ATI FireMV 2400 PCI quad output video card.

works out to be $85.50 USD per card before shipping.

lost out on my second attempt by $1.00 at the last second, bidding "bot" I assume.

eBay.ca: NEW 100505131 FireMV 2400 PCI 128M QUAD bulk 100-505131 (item 110093152009 end time 18-Mar-07 16:34:16 EDT)

even cheaper.

the way I was thinking on making this transaction if anyone else is interested in getting a quad output card for cheap was relist it on ebay with "buy it now", but send an email or arrange a predetermined time for interested buyers to scoop it up at "cost" when it gets listed.

that way no one has to be afraid of fraud and money may be sent via paypal or some other sort.

I would be very interested wsam, since I am in need of a PCI card. Just went to the local PC store earlier and didnt find what I want. The only problem with the link you posted is the 32 bit. (if im correct) The only reason I went with the ATI Ratheon 1800 PRO is cuz of the 256 bit. Im not looking for graphics but speed. Maybe if I find something myself, I'll post it up here.

bit what???

please explain, I'm not very techno inclined

so the bit rate is what?

128 mb DDR is for what purpose?

thanks

I figure ATI designed the card in mind for traders so they have their reasons for using 32 bit or what ever that number was compared to larger amount.
