Three Moniters

[oshta]

Is it possable to run three moniter from my pc using the two heads on the 9600pro, and a really old cirruslodgic card i have? (assuming i can find the drivers for the cirrus card)

- Just i thought.

yup

i've run 3 + tv off a pair of radeon dual head cards for aaages. works a treat. you may find you have some driver issues - in which case pick up a dirt cheap pci radeon for about £15 and bung that in

indeed yes, but you get the horrible throwback of PCI bus speed (its too slow). So when you scroll a webpage like hexus forums with the scroll mouse, it takes a little longer to update than on the AGP/PCIe card.

Im only doing it for a bit of fun while im home for christmas.
- Becuase i have my two 19" CRTs that i had for ages at home, and also my brandnew 19" TFT that i got for uni. (im prolly going to sell the CRTs soon, or atleast one of them)

I still can find any drivers for the ciruslodgic card.
- Ive tryed google the numbers printed on the GPU to no avil, so if i can find anything, it might be totaly off anyway. - Becuase its the PCI card i have and ovbously only have one AGP slot (i have two of them actually)

Also, just incase andone can tell me anymore about it, the GPU reads as follows:
CirrusLodic
CL-GD54M30-I-QC-A
62260-632AB
9705 A
JAPAN-N

And theres also a large Prolink "prographic image shapening" chip in a IC holder.

have you tried just sticking it in and seeing what windows does?

[oshta]

Yeah, i did that this morning.
- And i do now have all three moniters running off the same pc.

Unfortunaly with the defualt winXP driviers, the cirrus card is only puting out 800*600 16bit colour, which i think is less than i did when i was in its origanal PC, with the proper drivers.
- I've been busy doing christmas stuff today, but hopefully will get time to have look for some other dirvers?
