I just installed my Matrox Triplehead2go along with three 19'' TFTs and i wanted to let you know, that it's just awesome to play EVE at a 3 x 1280x1024 Solution.
Not only my Desk now looks like a Spaceship Command Panel but the whole overview is fantastic.
To everyone of you who might consider buying a Triplehead: You can't do anything wrong with it.
Have a look

Dude, this thing is far and away the best thing I have done for my Eve game. I love having all the extra windows and stuff off to the side, leaving the middle screen empty of clutter. If I am running solo or in small gang, I can actually zoom in and enjoy the full view of my ship, plus all the windows I need are open, corp chat, alliance chat, intelligence channels, overview full sized with a nice huge local window.
Have you been able to run the software optimizer yet? I can't seem to get it to do anything, but I don't really know what it can do to make things 'better'.

I can understand this. I would surely hate myself too

I must admit, that after installing yesterday, I could not do anything else than watching.....watching....watching....
But I'll check the software as soon as I can.
And yes, it's a complete fantastic new thing, to have ALL the information I want on screen(s) and not having to sort out.

Hate is such a mean thing.
For giggles, I set up a client that spanned horizintally across 4 20.1" lcds....talka bout chat window space. Alas however, it was set back to allow 4 clients to run simulataneously as CCP seems to keep the client resolution setting server side (or it was just me not putting much effort into it) or something.
Hate is such a strong word. You reserve it for the person that goes out of their way to try and steal your significant other. If they happen to be successful, then you deserved it and should probably thank that person, otherwise you go out of your way to remind them. This is where hate comes into the picture. Therefore hate can be classified as a 'memory enhancer' for the stupid.

I'm not sure I quite understand you there about the 4 clients. I run up to 3 clients simultaneously with no problems in full screen using alt-tab. It's actually a lot faster than I expected, at 3840x1024 I am getting about 90-100fps on the clients.

I run them side by side, not on top of each other. 1 client for each screen. Yeah I get about 50-60fps with all 4 out in space which is fine with me.

Did someone mention that we are very likely to be jaleaous of you and your wallet?
Do you own a software company like Microsoft or are you just president of a small oil nation in the middle East?

Why would you spend good money on a 7.1 system and then line the speakers up like that? Set those speakers up properly, mister, and I don't care if you have to hang some hooks or get stands. Oh, very neat monitor setup though. I really want at least a 2nd monitor for my machine.

If you have that much money to burn, you can afford to
a) Get a real mouse
b) Get a real mousemat
c) Get a real keyboard
d) Set those speakers up properly
e) Get a better GPU
Then I'll drool.
...nice screens though.

I had similar setup but found it difficult in combat when having to move the mouse a mile a minute to click in space/overview/etc. even with the Razer at 2000 dpi and that was with just 2 screens at 2560 X 1024, dunno how you're finding 3.
I run the eve client in a single screen now, and all the TS, IRC, etc. in the 2nd.
Works well.

No, found the T3 Jove-Titan BPO and sold it on ebay

There is a driver for WinXP. I found it after a long websearch. I will check, if I can find the file and contact you, if I am successfull.

You're right. Shame on me.

OK, with the next Jove-Titan BPO sold on ebay I will buy the stuff, mk?

Definitely NOT /signed. I have only worked for a few others with this and can say that it's the most practical thing, i have ever invested in. Not only for gaming; also the working with windows is now very much more comfortable.

I managed to find the drivers, but like old times the program it self won't run for me.
Well.. it tries too.. then whines about some files and crashes.
Might have something to do with me being on XP-64, but i had this problem om W2k as well.
