Well, I've been spoiled by all the nice flat LCD monitors at the hospital,
so I finally got sick of the ginormous CRT in the PARIS studio and with some
trepidation hooked up a nice 22" LCD. Much to my relief, it worked in
Windows 98, and more importantly, PARIS seems to be running normally.

So I guess PARIS doesn't care what monitor is connected? What about
graphics cards? I notice that the one in there is a Diamond Viper 330
sumpnerother, which is clearly not making the best of the new monitor.
Anything I need to watch out for re graphics card compatibility? Or should
I just leave well enough alone til we build our new PARIS machine?

Thanks,

Sarah

If it's not broke, don't fix it IMO. Wait for the new 'puter, and get an
nVidia/GeForce for that machine when you build/buy it.

The only thing to take care of, be sure you can see all 16 Paris channels at
once. For my Parissystem in Norway, I have an AOC 20" LCD with 1600x1200
resolution, where all 16 Parischannels are showing up.
Most of the 22" are doing 1680x1050, as the one here in Denmark, for my
Cubase 4 system.

If you decide on nVidia, get at least a 6xxx or greater series card. Older
than this won't support wide screen - 1680 x 1050 is what my 20" native
resolution is. I get 16 channels, 2 aux, and master in the mixer.
