[AG-TECH] Multi Display Cards Recommendation

[John I Quebedeaux Jr]

Derek,

I have to echo this as well, which card? Although I've been using the  
Parhelia 256mb cards and not the quad cards - they work fantastically  
compared to many others i've tried (nvidia, etc) for the amount of  
video (particularly with 10+ large video frames, i have no video card  
lag). I just ordered their new PCIe card and will be trying it out  
"soon".
