pseudoOTCmarket for 2001's:
Please input your prices into THE 2001 FP BOOK.

BUYER....QTY.BID....ASK.QTY....SELLER
...............................400...2....Degen
...............................???....2....Josh
Baulucky...2..100....................

Sorry my Bid is low, I don't need another 2001, it's better than no bid at all though.I'm sure others will improve on my bid. That's the purpose of an auction. Sellers: Please don't be mad, this is a service for you, even if you do not understand it as such. My bid is firm though. Sorry the "format" of the book sucks.

use the code tags if you want. having to put the periods in is a pain in the ass. with the code tags, spaces actually show up as spaces

i got at least 15 bids for them so there is a market. i don't even know if i want to sell them anymore. seems like i'm going to have to spend $1000+ in addition to the monitors. could get 2 more 2001FP's for the same price. i got a few good offers though

anyway i think this idea is dumb, but it would be good if we had a 2+2 market. no way that would fly though

Josh,

I did a little searching on Newegg.com and found video cards that support 2560x1600 resolution starting at $95.00. Of course they up quite a bit higher than that, but there are several options under $200. Here is the NEWEGG link for the page I found. These are PCI Express X16 cards. There are 14 choices. You should be able to get an idea for here.

None of the cheap ones have Dual DVI which you need to run this monitor.

You do **NOT** need dual DVI to run this monitor. The monitor has dual DVI so you can plug in multiple sources, and switch between them.

are you sure? from what i read it seemed like the most that a single DVI can support is 1920x1200 and that's only due to some crafy engineering by dell. i have no idea what any of this stuff means. that's just what i think i saw.

There seems to be a spot of confusion here with Dual DVI (two single-link DVI connectors - a lot of VGA cards have this), and Dual-link DVI, required to do a resolution of 2560x1600.

Take a look at wikipedia on DVI here.

Also on this wikipedia page, the awesome IBM 3820x2400 quad-dvi flat panel [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] Only 22 inch, so probably a bit much for multi-tabling. Also quite expensive.

There are not too many VGA cards supporting Dual-Link DVI right now, the ones I know of are the Nvidia 78xx series PCIe cards, and the top end Matrox cards. I think the new ATi 1xxx series PCIe cards do also, but I've not seen one of those yet.

Whilst having Dual DVI ports, the Nvidia 7800GT/GTX only have one port that is capable of dual-link, therefore to run a pair of these new 30" Dells you will need two expensive VGA cards and an SLI motherboard to fit them.

dave.

Some of the cards which support 2560x1600 resolution are not listed in that link.

This is the cheapest one that I've found on Newegg's website: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814142053

It does have dual DVI but like the other guy said I dont believe you need dual DVI to hook up this monitor.

This monitor is going to be a beauty. However I do have reservations about spending $1500+ on a monitor and then having to spend another several hundred on a video card just so I can utilize the max resolution.
