June 18, 200718 yr Yes Abe,Monitor switching is one of the easiest things to do, and just connecting and booting up should do the trick. If you monitor comes with a driver-disk containing its color-profile install that too, but in most cases nowadays XP/Vista or other OS have already build in profiles.ps: you are still upgrading your GPU right?
June 18, 200718 yr Hello,My experience , running Nvidia, you need to control (adjust) your refresh rate, resolution, overclocking, AA, AF, ... in the Nvidia control panel for each monitor.Control (adjust?) your settings in FSX for the 3 monitors.Not that difficult..Do the same when changing the video driver.

June 18, 200718 yr True, but thats more related to tweaking AFTER.. regarding Abe's position now, is how to switch monitors. :)
June 18, 200718 yr Author Thanks Wayup and Emile.And yes Wayup. I am doing a more extensive upgrade. A whole new system, with ATI 2900XT or XTX(if available), Core2 quad, Abit(I feel comfortable with that), 4 gigs of ram, full tower.I am always open to suggestions and new ideas.Thanks again.Abe
