Hi folks,
I'm looking to go dual monitors and I'm wondering a few things. First - is agp or pci better? I have both available. Problem now is when I change from track view to console view, the audio stutters and sometimes drops out. I currently use a pci vid card. I am going to be working with 2 17" monitors - both fairly old. I don't need super graphics as all I will be doing is music stuff. I have an MSI board, Athlon system. Any recommendations? Thanks.

Had good luck with the ATI cards. You could've scored a dual head Radeon 128mb DDR card for like $60.

you know what?

go check that price before you get all mad...cuz that might not be right

probably is...

you dont "need" that 128 tho...so if its $10 diff...dont worry about it. graphics performance has nothing to do with audio apps

...well that's not strictly true, but then I'm being pedantic here!

More onboard memory, faster DAC etc. equates to higher supported resolutions, colour depths and refresh rate but yeah, 128MB is overkill for music..

A mate of mine tryed getting dual monitor setup using two separate video cards, he didn't recommend it, said it worth paying a bit more for a new Video card with dual-out. Drivers, Mobo etc... everything worked better with a new Video card.

i picked up 2 X trinitron 17" CRT's and an ATI 9200 128mb (can do duals) for 200 squids, all-in package... got it for the boys studio for his x-mas present... very good deal!
