Aaron,
What is the recommendation for video card on XP? I need to run three
monitors. I'm currently using the Matrox to run two.
thanks!

(245) 16MB Matrox G450 (Dual Monitor) 4x AGP Video Card --1+ $ 7.49
These should load up in WinXP w/o and drivers from Matrox, and that's how I
recommend you do it. I'm posting this mainly for the Win ME/98 crowd
though.... seemed to play much better in that OS. This is not the same as
the 32Mb version of this model but if you've been counting pennies to go
Dual Monitor or already have one and need a backup, this is probably as good
as it's gonna get for those situations.
PS: I only started buying from this vendor recently, but I've had no
troubles at all so far and they deal with older (ahem.. vintage) computer
parts mostly that I can see - which is perfect for a Parisite.
