Hi Captain 777 and others, like I said I have all that plus I have installed another pci card to have my fmc and radiostack on another monitor taking the total to 7 monitors running very efficiently from 1 PC. My PC specs are P4 2.4ghz amd athlon, 1gig ddr ram, matrox parhelia, up to date asus mobo, and 3 pci sapphire radeon 7000 32mb. These cards run in perfect harmony with the matrox drivers and are cheap to buy.I do not use project magenta software, I have the PMDG 737ng and with that aircraft you can undock all panels (in windowed mode) and drag to any monitor you wish. Save the set-up when you have dragged all panels and then return to full screen and away you go.I have a vga splitter cable which replicates my captains panel to my FO's side.I get reasonable fps with the parhelia because it is only rendering the outside views, with most display settings maxed out. The only let down with the parhelia it is not very good at generating weather conditions such as fog and lots of clouds.Any further questions please ask here or for detailed set up questions email at ksandy501@hotmail.comKeith Sandford

WOW. I thought oh no another slide show, but my frame rates were still satisfactory. I tried loads of different settings but never got it right, but yours works perfect and has transformed my scenery, thanks Pedro. Keith Sandford
