atrox PCI card is recognized, then right click on
your desktop, go to your settings window and set it up for dual monitors. If
this works (and it should), then shut the system down, reinstall the AGP
card and reboot the system. Go to the device manager and make sure both
cards are now recognized. If so, again right click on the desktop and go to
the settings window, make sure both cards are confiugured for dual monitors.
Once that is done, right click on each desktop and it will show which of
your monitors is hooked up to the corresponding head of each video card. Set
your screen resolutions to what you need. You may also need to physically
switch monitors between video cards until you get the situation you want
between monitors 1, 2, 3 and 4.
My phone # is 970-375-7081. You are welcome to give me a call today if you
get stuck. I'm doing studio maintenance and will have time to help. Tomorrow
I'm in session most of the day and next week I may be hard to catch.

>LuizHi again guys,
I solved the problem of getting the two Matrox G450 cards to work (AGP &
PCI). Thanks Deej!
Well, now I would like to know how to clone the images of monitors 1 & 2
on monitors 3 & 4. I know this can be done using the Matrox drivers and utilities
software, but since I'm not using that due to the problems with their drivers,
I was wondering if anybody knew how to do it with the windows drivers - or
if it's possible.
Thanks for the help.
LuizYou guys rock! Thanks for all your recommendations. Some day I will get
a good Guitar pre, and tube amp. Right now I think I need to go with a processor
box. The reality is I'm a drummer not a guitar player, a $60K rig won't
fix my deficiencies. As the guy said in the movie Crossroads, "you play
like bird shit", that's me. I really am at a amateur night, demo kind of
a level, so quality equipment may not be able to save me.
I was hoping that if I put the time in to cutting tracks myself, that most
would be of high enough quality sound wise that they would be keepers. I
was trying to avoid the buying, trying selling thing. I guess I was hoping
for a magic bullet box that would give me versatility, and authentic amped
sound, enough to fool 95 % of the peopl
