Go to www.ebay.co.uk, select "Sell an Item", you should find ATI cards have their own catagory under PC Components. ;)

Hehe yeah I have been tempted to do that :)

Seriously though, running ATI and nV in one PC is just a disaster waiting to happen, what with different OpenGL, D3D and god knows what else lying about in the system32 directory.

Yes I realise it`s not an ideal situation. Had it failed at the outset then
I could accept it but the fact that I`ve had this working before shows that
it can be done - and that makes it all the more frustrating that I can`t get
it going again ;)

I would buy a cheapie ATI card to bung in and run the 3rd monitor off but
I couldn`t find a way to create a custom resolution for that monitor which
I need to resize Eve so I don`t get any overlap. I know I could use one of
smaller window preset sizes but if you have a 22" monitor, you want to
use it all damnit :p

So, I think I`ll be juggling cards around between PC`s to come up with a
solution that doesn`t involve buying another card :)

Oh btw - any idea why I`m getting your posts twice ?

Cheers
Paul
