MacPro multi monitor support

[Phate]

Hello all,

Before I order the MacPro this week or next can someone confirm something for me.

I currently run 2 x 17" TFT's and I'm very tempted to order a 24" Widescreen Dell or Sammy or Apple monitor with it.

I'll be ordering it with the ATI X1900XT 512mb Dual DVI card. Which will run 2 monitors fine.

I need to know (I'd be surprised if it didn't) if Tiger supports more than 2 monitors?

Also, I will be wanting to plug my 26" LCD via VGA into the MacPro to watch films/dvds.

So at anyone time I want to be running 4 monitors.

Can Tiger support this without problems?

Thanks all

Well my mac supports dual screen and a third via the TV out without issue, so I don't see why it wouldn't.

Can you configure the postions?

Ideally I want them laid out like this



[ 17Inch TFT ] [ 24Inch Widescreen ] [ 17 Inch TFT ] [ 26" LCD TV ]

So I can move the mouse left and right to each of the monitors like I do now.

Many Thanks

The Mac Pro/Tiger should be fine with 4 monitors as long as you have two graphics cards etc

Word of warning don't get an Apple display, hugely overpriced and poor tech specs.

Yep, will be running 2 cards

I've heard the Apple monitors are very good

Probably going for the Sammy 24" when it comes out - looks awesome!
