Default Pulling My Vaio apart

OK i have a sony vaio desktop PC

It has a Geoforce 4Ti 4200 (sony)

everthing is fine

but i would like to have 3 displays.

would anyone reccomend to take out the Geo 4 and put in a Matrox G450 128mb pci with quad vga ???

or something different.

i only use this pc for Video editing with Pinnacle 8 and for music too my Ipod.


Go for it or leave it alone as she working fine is my question really ?

I have a dual display on my office pc and i cant say how good it is to have dual display on a pc.

looking for a quad would be far better.

any sugestions ?


LOL its my first post folks
I record and author DVDs for my Impreza Club.

Two monitors are generally the "thang" for video editing enthusiasts - either stretching the screen accross the displays (helps if you have two smaller 17" screens) to provide an uncluttered workspace, or using the second to play the video overlay.

A third option is to get a Matrox card supporting three screens (two DVI/D-sub and an svideo).

Decisions, decisions...
