View Full Version : How does the set up work for more than 4 Tabling ??

09-20-2005, 08:38 AM
Just wondering what the best set up is for more than 4 tables, I understand that you need another account but how do you set up the computer. Do you use 2 different computers and 2 different mouses ? Just was curious how to sit it up.

You get a dual monitor graphics card and hook up 2 monitors.

hey if you need help with this, Im a cs major, and I can find you some good prices on this stuff.

yeah, 2 monitors is the best, not to mention how undeniably pimp it is to be sitting in front of 2 screens.


of course, raptor just uses a NASA screen array.

holla?

What are 'dual monitor graphics cards'? Will my old GeForce Ti 4200 do the trick?
This week or next week my FP2001 (or whatever its name is) is coming. /images/graemlins/laugh.gif

There should be a FAQ on how to setup 2 monitors on 1 computer here. /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Does it work the same with a laptop, I want to do it with my Dell Inspiron 2200, so I just need a dual monitor card ?

If you have a blue plug in the back with three lines of holes, you already have a graphics card that will work. The plug might also be white and squareish.

Maybe we should ask Citanul to link the monitor post in the FAQ. This question probably pops up 4 times a week min.

You could do this, but it's already there. It's been there since the FAQ was posted. It's been in the opening paragraph of the FAQ. The whole time. God [censored] damnit.

Sorry Citanul. Sad part is I actually looked in it too, to see if it was. And no apparently you cannot get that minute of your life back.

Most laptops come with a port for another monitor and it is easy to set up dual monitors with XP or 2000. Not many laptops have resolution for 4 tabling on the laptop screen without overlap.

If you set up a desktop, you don't have to get a video card to handle multiple monitors ($$$$$). Instead, you can get multiple video cards (cards are about $5).
