Just a head's up. I've always avoided using the nVidia display manager software,
just on the theory that any such stuff would be definition be hinky. On the
new machine I have hooked up to my 24" 1920x1600 monitor I decided to try
it out. It seems to work very well, with zero processor overhead that I can
see. 32 virtual desktops can be defined as well, application constrained
or not, and accessed via hotkeys. Nice to see that fancy XP boxes are finally
getting a level of window management as good as linux boxes have had for
years ;-)

Hey,
Yes the NView stuff works great. just did a 2 card 4 head system hat
works great. Much less clunky and best of all fan less not like the
Matrox crap. The new 8000 series card I setup is real quiet for a gamer
card. The matrox PCI-e card are load as hell.

I've been pleasantly surprised. I also wonder if I really need a second big
monitor with the 24" I have now. I might put a 19" to the right of it that
I can switch to my linux box but it might be overkill, esp with where my
speakers are placed.

Anyway, it's worth a look if people are on nVidia cards.

I picked up a Colorgraphics Xentera 4 x head the other day. It's an old AGP
model and it's rockin' along in my native rig, even sharing IRQ's with the
Pulsar cards with no issues at all. I was very surprised at this.......and
so now it has been "Borg'ed" into the DAW'ism.

..O'yeah.....and it's got some software that seems to allow you do do just
about anything.
