Behold my glorious new work space! Kneel before it’s mighty 3 displays of ultimate power! Seriously though, I brought in an old LCD that I had laying around unused, and an old video card, a Matrox Mystique.
This is much like my old setup at Motorola where I had 2 CRT’s in a multihead setup. As they laid people off I got more and better monitors. Eventually I had 3 monitors tied to a single machine. It was pure gluttony. I loved it. My desk though was completely crowd and my productivity plummeted and the office closed. 
Well I had 3 monitors hooked up to one workstation at Home Depot. It was crazy because the onboard AGP card was automatically disabled when I plugged in another card (yes it was PCI). At this point I had to bring in another old card of mine and purchase another cheapie. I had 4 video cards in that computer 2 PIC, 2 AGP. Of course, the onboard card was useless and I couldn’t enable it in the bios.
Sigh,
Les
