I'm not sure who stuck a stick up your rear end today, but I hope the pain eases soon (or whatever it was that made you decide to reply so venomously to a fairly reasonable request for ideas).
Yes the multiple PCIx slot option is out there, I was wondering if there were any other solutions.
I know that at least one regular here works with building multiple display systems a lot, and had hoped he would have some advice.
As for embedded solutions, there are a number of Embedded boards that support 2 independant displays, one of which we are already using.

The problem is that so many people posting on here are lazy and just expect others to do the research for them.
In future it'd be a good idea to indicate in your post that you have already done some research and the result of the research. THen indicate your asking for people personal experience and opinions to build o nthat.

Perhaps, doesn't excuse his attitude tho...
It could put people off from coming to these forums... something I don't think the forum owners would want.
As it happens I am aware that he is generally a miserable git, and attacks without cause on a regular basis, an attitude not really deserving of MVP status.

Waaaah! Stop whining... It sounds like you're making a pathetic attempt at justifying your own poor attitude.

Not at all - it hasn't kept over 4.7 million people from joining.
If you had actually done some research, you would already know that there's no such thing as a motherboard with three graphics chip sets built in, much less providing 6 dvi connectors), and anyone that hasn't been living under a rock for the last five years knows PCIx is probably the best way to go. Further, anyone (even you) can type a simple phrase like "three PCIx slots" into the google search field and click "go" (there are probably more motherboards available that provide 3 PCIx slots, but I stopped at the first one I found). Failing that, NewEgg is always a good place to start when looking for hardware.

That's not entirely true. These forums are rife with lazy assholes that would prefer to come in here and start asking stupid questions without doing any research on their own before hand. In your original post, you made absolutely no mention of the fact that you did any research at all before coming here. I thought were just another lazy a**hole. If you had said, "I've looked around and couldn't find a suitable reference...", my answer would have been completely different.
Instead, you came in and asked a question about information that was readily available via a google search.
So maybe *your* holier-than-though attitude needs more adjustment than mine.

THere're cards out there that will let you use a Y cable to split a dual link DVI port(2560x1600) into two separate single link ports (1920x1200max) to run 4 monitors at once from a single card. They're quadro's not consumer oriented geforce models though. I've seen them from a few vendors of large multipanel display systems.

I've heard of the Quadro's but didn't know thats what they did...
I'll take a look at them, thanks.

I don't think all of them do. IIRC it was only 1 or 2 specific models of the dozenish listed. In general the difference between a quadro and a geforce is that the former is optimized for image quality instead of high frame rates.

He said he wanted to do 3D/DX. If it were me, I'd look into using three 8600GS nVidia cards since they're fairly capable, reasonably inexpensive, and readily available.
The Quadro is too expensive and won't really give him any more capability.
Of course, my attitude sucks, so take the above for what it's worth.

Im getting Hard Disk Reallocated error of my Samsung 80GB HDD.
Actually im having 2 HDDs
1st is Segate
2nd is Samsung
Yesterday when i started my PC it showed me "Use 2 X 10 or 2X12 power connector " before windows started.
so what i have to do now??
samsung HDD is having 2 partitions
Right now im Defragmenting one of the partition.

Hi,
kindly i need to know:
while using 0804 and AT89c51 series together, which parameters or bandwidths should be matched to achieve non-stop traffic.
whether the difference between component's bandwidth can be solved using some kind of memory???
and do you think i need to learn some more topics regarding my query??

YOu've found the wrong site for questions like this. CP Is more developement under Windows, not custom hardware developement. You'd probably get a (quicker and) better answer on a site specifically dedicated to electronics.
There are a few people around here who do "dabble" in the electronic arts, but the chances of them seeing your post any time soon are not so good.
Google "electronics forums"[^]

Hi,
i have analog voltage ranging -12v to +12. Need to know that
can i use ADC0804 (8-bit) which results in res=0.09v
or 0804 only work for voltages ranging 0-5v.
Also as i have to convert two separate analog inputs, should i use two 0804 for this purpose ? or 0808.
and what should be the sample rate for achieving 10Mhz bandwidth to be transmitted to PC????

If there are two mouses(A,B) pluged in a computer, I wonder how to distinguish A from B.
 plz help me

I am confident that it's not possible to determine which mouse produced the input messages from usermode ring-3.
However, it might be possible at ring-0... by implementing a mouse filter driver which connected to \\Device\\PointerClass0 and other pointerclass input devices on the chain. But I can only imagine the chaos when multiple pointer devices are moving at the same time. Sounds a bit difficult even at this level to me.
But if you want to explore, the sample code in the Microsoft DDK at: C:\WINDDK\3790.1830\src\input\moufiltr could be modified to research this idea.

CAN ANY ONE TELL ME IS THERE ANY FREE VERSION OF THE ddK2000/XP? AND IF THERE THEN WHERE TO GET IT?
|
|
|
|

Did you even bother to try google? The first listing when searching on "windows ddk 2000 xp" led me to the DDK page which directly leads to the "which ddk to use" page which leads directly to the "how to get it" page.
Since I've already down your work for you, here's your answer:
How to Get the Windows Driver Kit and the Windows Logo Kit[^]
The program is free. FYI, the DDK has been rolled into the WDK.
If you insist on not joining the program, less than five minutes of surfing on the MS site found:
DDK - Windows Driver Development Kit[^]
Despite their names, both of these support drivers back to W2K

hi out there,
i don't know if i'm at the right place with my problem, but i will try. i tried weeks ago some times the usb forum (http://www.usb.org/phpbb/index.php) but these nice guys are not activating any new user accounts 
ok, is it possible to make an usb keyboard emulation, that means connecting 2 pc over usb or rs232 to usb, one pc has no keyboard and will be feeded with keyboard signals from the other pc over the usb connection... if yes, has any one good hints (internet pages, etc) how to do it?
regards
criss

The key strokes can be captured and injected at the source/destination PCs using global system hooks, but you can't just run a 'USB crossover cable' between them and call it done. You absolutely would need to write device drivers and AFAIK you'd also need a hardware device of some sort in the middle. Sending the data via ethernet would be much easier, and if for some reason the machines don't have ethernet cards and can't have them added you can buy USB to ethernet adaptors.

hm... so such a hardware device is definitively necessary because a direct usb-usb or rs232-usb connection is not possible (electric/hardware/conversion issues)? also if all the device driver stuff is done?
regards,
criss

You could use a pair of USB-RS232 adapters and an RS232 cable without needing any to write any drivers and just use standard rs232 code. But be forewarned USB-RS232 adapters have a reputation of both being flaky and only implementing the more common parts of the spec.

hey all. i was wondering if i could get a bit of advice . Im a final year robotics student and i've just had a new idea for my dissitation project, but im not sure if its viable. The part im unsure of would be a custom usb keyboard feeding text into a c++ application.
I have a basic understanding of c++, some asm programming via a 8051 processor and i've just ordered some usb interfacing books, to help me along with creating a driver and bus. I should be able to manage it for a pc, but could the same driver and software work on a pda running windows and usb otg ?(although i know otg bus is diffrent, but back compatible form usb)
As i said i haven't really researched into it yet, so it's just off the top of my head at the moment. Any advice or points to references would be great.
cheers.
Lucas.

according to me you should first understand the device driver for your k/B..
to develop a driver for windows environment you should download Driver Development Kit by Microsoft

Hi,
I am working on VS 2005 on Vista Platform and also have Vista SDK on my system.
All I want is to be able to handle any notification events on my Ethernet Network adapter.
These could be Ethernet Cable Pluged-in, Pluged-out, in each of these cases, an notification has to be sent.
I know that this can be achieved by registering a callback function with that Port/Network adapter ( I get the Port/Adapter info by calling the native API GetAdaptersAddresses( )
Once any event on the adapter occures, the callback function will be invoked and recieve the event for which the callback was called.
Can anybody please tell me as to how do I register/associate an Callback/event handling function with an Adapter using native Vista API's??
Any guidance will be of great help.
