Sounds nice Mr! you'll definitely need a newer GPU, latest Gen will take advantage of XP10's advanced, juicy features, check out these excellent posts from the man himself, Ben Supnik, the guy who's designed all the scenery architecture and I suspect, is about to get an awful lot of job offers/ a really fat payrise http://xplanescenery.blogspot.com/2010/08/multicore-and-version-10.htmlhttp://xplanescenery.blogspot.com/2010/12/updating-to-os-x-106x.htmlA few of us are getting great value out of the GTX560 OC Ti card, stunning value.I have no idea about multi-screen/pc setup, but know there are others who do this, I'm sure they may chime in.
