A while back, when I was in the throes of configiring my native DAW, I
decided to stick wityh Matrox and replace my dual (AGP and PCI) Matrox
G450's with a Matrox P750. Thad (somewhat vociferously/emphatically)
responded that I should abandon Matrox entirely and go with a GE-Force
graphics card. I was reluctant because I wanted 3 monitors. Well, I've
jumped through quite a few hoops to use the P750 and I really don't like
it's method of allowing the use of 3 x monitors. It's much better
implemented when using two G450's than it is with the P750, IMO. Still I was
getting some wierdness when I had my LAN controller enabled and sometimes
even when I didn't. Cutting back the number of monitors I had enabled to two
helped this some, but I still had to have my LAN controller disabled in the
BIOS..........and still, there would be an occasional screen freeze if I
walked away from the computer for around 10 minutes. It wasn't a problem as
long as I was continuously using the machine, but letting it sit idle fro a
while would result in my returning to the project only to find my mouse
frozen and requiring a hard reboot.

I just installed a GEForce 5500 dual head. There is a big difference in the
way the system is running. It's one of those things that you dont really
notice until you install a piece of hardware that works better than another
piece of hardware that you really didn't think was behaving badly.

So far, so good. The system is operating very smoothly with the LAN
controller enabled and since I was only using 2 monitors on my native system
most of the time, I'm not really missing the 3rd video head. I may try
adding as GEForce 5500 PCI card. I'm pretty impressed by this hardware.

I also just upgraded my AMD 64 dual core 4200 CPU to a 4400. It's making a
bit of difference in my higher track count projects. Sort of like providing
that little more *oomph* to the system. Now I'm probably going to have to
reauthoraze a bunch of NI VSTi's............oh well.........

;o)
