* We have only tested with NVIDIA cards, but ATI cards should work fine, too. An NVIDIA Quadro2 or GeForce3 card with 32 MB of memory will work with RemoteView, but performance will be minimal at best . The GeForce card will be cheaper but will not do stereo at all. Some of the older Quadro cards will do stereo, but many don't.

* Due to cost, the GeForce cards are recommended over the Quadro cards unless stereo is needed. 128 MB of graphics memory is better, but 64 will work fine. We have only tested with NVIDIA cards, but ATI cards should work fine, too. Users can expect to run at 1600x1200 resolution. With the correct drivers and settings, they can run up to 3200x1200 over two displays.

* We have had good experience with the Dell 2001FP or the Viewsonic VP201B LCD display. The Apple Cinema does a good job on displaying 3D fly-throughs, but the current refresh rate makes roaming somewhat choppy. The Apple Cinema display can only be bought from Apple or an Apple authorized reseller. In addition, you need two FX 3400's or one FX 4000 to run the two 30" Apple displays at the same time with the latest NVIDIA drivers. Also, if you want very smooth roaming, you will be more satisfied in general with a CRT due to faster refresh rates of CRT's. Currently, only very high-end LCD's have sufficiently fast refresh rates to support smooth roaming.
