OK, I just put together a new PC. I am a daytrader so this isn't a gaming PC or whatever, it just basicly needs to be relativley fast, and push 6 LCD's. So I combined a NForce 780 SLI motherboard, 3 Nvidia 8600GT video cards, a 3.0Ghz Core 2, and 4GB of Crucial RAM.
Now the PC runs great, my problem is in the resolution... or lack therof. I have 6 Samsung 204BW Widescreen LCD's (20" ?). Anyway, their native resolution is 1680 X 1050. But The problem is that I think at least I'm pushing some limit of either Vista or the NVidia cards. I suspect the latter so that's why I'm posting here. Right now I have them all running @ 1280 X 960. That's the only way I can keep them all at the same resolution. When I go to 1680 X 1050 5 monitors will display that resolution, the 6th one drops off (or down) to 1280 X 1024. I'd like them all to run @ 1680 X 1050 without having to drop back down to XP. Any solutions here? Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Oh yeah, the cards are NOT SLI'd or anything, just a regular config.
