[AG-TECH] Two Win2K or WinXP AG setups - anybody done them?

[Bob Riddle]

We're using one machine (okay, two if you count the Gentner!)

A Dell 530 Precision with dual xeon 2.4 ghz with 3 Osprey 100's, and a 
Matrox Parhelia AGP card (which limits us to 3 displays - which is all 
our AG room has had room for since inception).
Works just dandy for us.
