[AG-TECH] Specs for a 2.3 room node

[Monika Rabarison]

It is just that we currently have the old 4 machine node.
I did not know the multiple stream video cards issue is
handled with 2.3 now. In that case, I am thinking about a single machine 
running XP. Any specific cards that I should use?

Thanks,

Monika
