Default multi-tabling

What settings are best for 3 or 4 tables... because 1280 x 1024 doesn't cut it... what type of video driver is needed? I have a RADEON 9550 and can't seem to get it bigger than 1280 x 1024.

you have an LCD monitor? you'll need to get a more expensive one that can handle higher resolutions.

1600 x 1200 or 1920 x 1200 resolution. Not sure what videocard you need though, I have a 128mb radeonx300 which works fine

Ideal resolution is 1600x1200...four tables on 1 screen with no overlap.

In your case your video card is not the problem...1280x 1024 is max resolution with most LCDs.

You'll need an expensive (~1500USD) 21" LCD to get a 1600x1200 resolution.

The other option, which is quite cheap, is dual monitors. All you need is a video card with two ports. I run an Nvidia 6800 GT with 2 17" LCDs in rotated mode and it works a treat...3 table no overlaps + read 2+2 or pokertracker. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Dual monitors are also great for things like assignments, data entry, or posting on forums.

I think a 20" LCD should do, to get 1600x1200. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

I have a 128MB PCI Express™ x16 (DVI/VGA/TV-out) ATI Radeon™ X300 SE Video Card and I can't get 1600x1200.

Yup. Most monitors don't support the required 1600x1200.

FWIW, you don't need to get an LCD screen, since LCD's that support 1600x1200 are very expensive. I have a nice 19" LCD that I use at school that does not support it, and then I come home and use a 19" old-school (I'm talking 5 years old) monitor that does.
