Spec help: 3 monitor desktop

[nickoedwards]

Hey all,

We're setting up a satellite office and i'm looking at what will be needed hardware wise.

Basically, the machine needs a 3 monitor desktop layout and have been looking at the 24" or 22" dell monitors. What will have to been ordered from Dell to enable this? I've set up a 2 monitor desktop but i'm not sure how to extend to 3.

Thanks,

Nick.

Dell sells an ATI video card for their machines that will handle 4 monitors. The card runs about $400, we have running on our network and so far the user hasn't made any complaints. And believe me, if this user can, he will complain. Sales guy.

Anyway look for Dell part # A1239684
