3 monitor system

Ah, I've heard about that, ...terminal server has a hard limit of 1600 x 1200... maybe it will be changed in Vista.

heh, I had this image of people with a laptop carting about three screens and another box in an enormous rucksack.... :-O

I'd guess a laptop wouldn't have the grunt for games over three screens, but yeh, I love the dual screen thing too.

Not sure why people use laptops at work ?
bung a PC on a shelf under desk, LCD on top; then remote access from home/client.

one the other hand I noticed that people at IBM all use laptops, but then a Thinkpad is the only one I'd trust with my work too
(...looks at the growing pile of dead toshiba laptops in corner)

I understand where you are coming from but due to the fund we look after with such a small company (around £8 Billion and 50 people in total throughout the company) we have complete data recovery just in case of a disaster.

So all the traders and analysts have a desktop pc (usually with two or three screens for reuters and /or bloomberg as well as office apps) along with a laptop that they work from home with as well as travel around the world from Europe to the US and Japan / China / Korea

My colleague who was after this wants to work like she does at her desk no matter where she is - unfortunately however IT tell her , the standards she lives to just dont allow for it hahahahaah

( unfortunately thinkpads arent what they were so I have been told since IBM's desktop and laptops were sold off to a "replica" company)
 
I try and get the laptop users to move onto desktops if possible, even to the extent of giving them a PC to use at home.
They make out they do lots of work at home but the sync logs are a tad empty so I know it’s just a pose.
The tripling of support costs a laptop requires is a pain. Touch wood we have no PDA/blackberry loons as yet. :-)
 
I have 2 monitors running and when i open a game how do i get the game to just stay on 1 monitor while the other shows the desktop ? because when i start the game the other monitor goes off OR displays the game aswell .. :(

If only that was feasable (-:

We have blackberry users and users who require laptops, giving them a desktop at home only multiplies the problem
 
Currently I have a Asus A8N-SLI mobo with a single XFX NVidia GeForce 6600GT based graphics card running 2 * 19" LCD displays. Question is if I upgraded to a pair of SLI Dual DVI outcards (e.g. XFX GeForce 7600 GS 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (PVT73P-UDL3) (GX-080-XF) ) could I run 2 montiors off each card giving total of 4 (2 by 2 square)?

Yes indeed you could.

There should be a special website (www.takethemickpcsetups.com) for things like that lol!

If you intend on playing games though I'd look to upgrade to at least 2x7600 SLI, 2X6600 just wont be able to handle 2560*2048 :p
