Hi all, |

I'm appealing to your collective knowledge for something not really |
| 4 |
gentoo :) |
| 5 |
|

I'm looking at 4 independent VGA outputs for a church media / stage |
| 7 |
environment (dvds, videos, presentations, maybe some live camera |
| 8 |
backgrounds under text & such). |

Do you think it would be better to get either: |
| 11 |
* Dual 256MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 295, or |
| 12 |
* Single 512MB PCIe x16 nVidia NVS 420 |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
The single NVS 420 is about $350 more than the dual 295. (There is a |
| 15 |
dual 420 option but that's another $1000 so I'm hoping to avoid it!) |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
both are quad-monitor capable. I'm considering performance, heat, |
| 18 |
power, noise, and anything else you can think of. The 295 is passively |
| 19 |
cooled, 23W each, whereas the 420 is active cooled but only 40W, or so |
| 20 |
they say! |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
any tips much appreciated :) |

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate. |
