So in a bid to sort out my workflow, I've got the Spyder 3 Elite to handle all my calibration stuff and have come up against a problem.
I'm running a two screen setup on 32bit Vista and in the small print in the read-me document it says...
"3) On Windows, it is necessary to use a separate video card for each monitor. Multi-head video cards (one card that drives multiple monitors) will not work because Windows will not allow you to assign a different profile to each monitor."
I currently have an "ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT 256MB DUAL DVI w/VGA". I only know this because I have copied it straight from my spec list for the PC. I know nothing about graphics cards at all.
So, what should I go for? Will adding another of the same card work, or do I need two totally different cards? (I'm not into gaming or anything and the quality of whatever I have at the moment seems fine, so that's the sort of ball park I'm aiming for I guess).
Any comments much appreciated! Cheers
