hmmm. a double 4500 quadrofx for everybody?
I always was stuck to Matrox cards, for better colors, 3-4 monitors,
berret 2D graphics.
When I made the PC I'm using was dawn of PCI-E and the only one board
avaliable was the ATI x600 I've here.
Never worked good....
I prefer the PS3 approach...
But is the 240$ white one coming out any good for this??
