Can those of you who are using dual video cards with Writelog recommend one to me. My computer is 500 MHz micro with 128 Meg of ram. What dual video card would work with this setup. I have an extra 1
I have two computers in the shack and both are equipped with dual head video cards. Both have two monitors. I have had success using Matrox G series cards. Presently using Matrox G450. There are two
Wayne, As one who has two different video cards in my two main computers, there is a difference. I find the ATI video much more friendly than the Matrox card. The ATI video uses the two monitors as t
Jerry, this is incorrect. I use Matrox cards and they have a option to spread over two monitors or open where you want them. Maybe you inadvertently checkmarked this option. Matrox also remembers th
I also have the ATI card and it works very well. My adapter is a Radeon 9800XT. With this card you can set different resolutions for each monitor should you need to. I don't know if other cards can d
I have a dual-monitor video editing setup in another room. When I was shopping for the second video card for it, I was told to simply get a card of a different type (PCI vs AGP). An AGP card came wit
-- Just a note to Jerry's post. My G-450 ( about 8 months old ) does not act in that way, so maybe as he said, Matrox has "gotten its act together". One thing I do find is if I open another program,

I have been have pretty good luck running 3 monitors under Windows 2000, 1 card is a ATI Radeon 9000 Pro (AGP), and the second is a Compusa branded ATI Radeon 7500LE (PCI). The 9000 has two monitor o
Cool setup! For anyone running XP upgrade your ram. Most computer geeks er experts are now saying 512mb is a minimum. 2GB is highly recommended. With that amount of ram you can turn off the paging in
I think they are. I use a 19" and a 18" lcd, both Philips. I find them to be quieter although I think the video cards make noise. Change the frequency of the card if you have a birdy on the dx statio
OK, Let me check this out this morning. I have not messed with these settings in over a year. Maybe I need a new driver. But the last driver I got from Matrox had completely different behavior and me
Bill, and other Matrox users, I just looked at my Matrox PowerDesk and I see the version number is 6.71.014 which is probably several years old. I decided not to mess with anything until after WPX. B
My version is 6.91.005 Writelog opens as if there was only one Monitor. The "What contest" window opens in the middle of the main monitor screen. No, it maximizes to the full screen of which ever mon
Bill, et al OK, that's what I want. I obviously have an old version because I don't even have the choice of how to maximize. So now I will have something to do after the contest. HI Jerry, W6IHG At 0
I'm a late comer to this thread ... I've had great luck with Matrox cards ... and their support is great as well. I prefer NOT to use software that combines all the monitors into one large virtual d
Maybe some of the very old Matrox cards would only present a single virtual desktop to the operating system, e.g. the union of all the monitors = desktop. But all the Matrox G-series cards I've used
I don't think that's always true. At home with a Matrox card, my windows will maximize on the monitor they're on when you maximize it. The task bar extends across both monitors though. On another ma
I hadn't realized it, but almost all Notebooks support dual video; I had always toggled between the LCD and external video, or both, but never realized the external was separate and could support a s
