comment Build pc with 6 dvi outputs?
Sorry, but how do you get 4 or 6 outputs from the 4850 X2 or 4870 X2? They both seem to be 2-port cards. I think it's only ATI's 5000 series that support 3+ ports simultaneously.

comment How to connect 6 monitors
I've successfully run a 4-monitor setup under Windows 7 that works as an extended desktop, so you can run different windows on separate screens, or even stretch one out so that it covers all four (usually requires sizing it manually). Am about to attempt a 6-monitor setup using the same technique. Trying to work out whether to use 3 x 2-port cards, 2 x 3-port cards, or 1 x 6-port card.

comment Good way to speed up full screen flash video on laptop
Flash Player 10.2 has even more GPU support. Not sure if Hulu have implemented it yet or not.

comment I need *what* for Flash video?
Yes, VLC is better (smoother) at playing FLVs/MP4s, but if it's an online stream you may not have that option.

comment I need *what* for Flash video?
This comment is now out of date (it was posted nearly 2 years ago). Flash has used the GPU for H.264 video decoding for a while (DXVA I think), and as of the recent 10.2 player can also use the GPU for video display.

comment Software to clean up photos of whiteboards and documents?
Thanks. The Ricoh option is free and does a reasonably good job - except no perspective correction, and it only does one image at a time.
