If people didn't read my last post, I am running 3 monitors, on 3 separate video cards at this moment. Yeah, I was bored, and had the components, so I thought, why not.

Anyway, I wanted to try some games out on this thing. Does anyone know of any Windows games that support multiple monitors? I know flight sim does, and maybe il try that. Ive seen articles about UT, and Q3A, but I think it was Linux.

Hehe, I found a site that showed me how to set up various games, like UT. I tried it, and got 4Frames per second! Maybe il come back to that after i ditch this 350Mhz processor.

Still gotta try some more games though, hehe.

Well, I downloaded Ultramon, a multi monitor utility, it allows you to maximise programs across all the monitors (Actually just resizes them). It's cool with UnrealED, as I can have a screen with toolbars and such, one with the 3d view, and one with the top, side, and back view.

I thought it looked like something out of the matrix (Especially when one of the monitors is partialy painted black, but that's a different story), so I made up a background with some matrix fonts, that says "THE MATRIX PC". It looks pretty cool. I also had to download the matrix screensaver, wich also works on multiple monitors. hehe.

You know the old AT psus? they had that plug in the back that would fit a special cord to turn on things with the computer? Don't you hate it when you actually want to use this, but your new ATX psu doesn't have it? Well it suddenly became a problem for me when I got three monitors, so I went to the shack, and picked up a Relay, wired it to a molex connector for the switch, and put four outlets on the end of a cord to switch the 3 monitors, adn my usb hub, as I hate that darn optical mouse on, even with my copmuter off. It's working great so far.
