Re: video Card to support 4 monitors?

Egads, I've been running 4-monitor cards with TS for > 10 years, simply
and inexpensively, and certainly without any high-falutin' liquid
cooling system.  I've used predominantly Colorgraphic and Appian cards,
and in my experience, some of the older Colorgraphic cards work best.
For example, I've used their Evolution-4 cards for years (two Evo-4
cards with Win98 will give you 8 monitors), and those cards are more or
less routinely available on eBay for around $50 --- there's one on eBay
now starting at $10 with a $55 BuyItNow:
http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=2000457553  Their
more recent cards are the LT and Predator cards, but for whatever
reason, I consistently have problems getting those cards to run with my
computer (P3/500 w/Win98), so I stick with the Evo-4 cards, which do
everything I want in a 4-monitor card but call the broker and place the
trades itself.
