[AG-TECH] Ospreys & FC2

[Osland, CD (Chris)]

We use the same with 2x2.8 GHz Xeons, 1 Gb memory, 2x40 Gb disks,
Matrox Parhelia display card (one output to console, two to
AG displays) although we hope to move to QID card, onboard
audio (amazingly - no problems) interfaced through standard
balanced-unbalanced convertor, Winnov Videum 4400 VO.

Cheers

Chris
