Bing? Eeew, it’s like MSN search but with pretty wallpaper background.

The Matrox cards are no good for gaming and will be really expensive ($1200 for the 8 monitor card, IIRC). You could do the same thing using multiple cheap AMD or Nvidia GPU’s with a compatible motherboard for ~1/4 the price. I guess the Matrox cards are cool if you’re doing multi-monitor stuff that doesn’t require serious GPU acceleration (stock trading apps and such) and want a single card solution.

AMD/ATI’s new Radeon HD 5XXX cards support 3 monitors per card and they have their cool “eyefinity” tech that makes multi-monitor gaming easy. Later models will support 6 monitors per card.

I don’t know about you but I thought it was the Church Lady and not John reading the AMD & Intel friends bit.

Re heard it. Sounds more like doing an impersonation of Dana Carvey impersonating Bush senior

Bing is a challenger but how fast are people switching to it? If the answer is they aren’t…
