Adding a Third Display

Hi,
I run Apple 30" and 23" displays off an ATI 1900. These handle most of my 'real' work, but I still find I could do with more real estate for things like, iTunes, Safari, et al (i.e. low demand applications). What would be my best (not necessarily cheapest, but cheapest not to compromise my rig) option for adding a third display? Can I mix ATI and nVidia in the same machine without worries? Presumably, if I have a lower powered GPU for the third display, providing I keep the power apps on the original two, I don't lose any performance? (Incidentally, what are the impacts on performance if I ran, say Photoshop or Apertue's main winodws off the 1900, and the palettes off a lower powered card? Can't get my head round this).
(BTW, I would probably be looking at another 23" ACD or maybe a Dell equivalent – if there is such a thing!).
Thanks.
David

The best option would be to simply get a second ATi X1900 XT. Apple don't recommend mixing card so I wouldn't go for a cheaper Nvidia 7300 GT.

  • Adding a Sharp Aquos 51" as a third display

    Hi all. I am running a prepress department and we just purchased a 51" Sharp Aquos TV for a third display for customers to view our Illustrator files when they come in. I have a couple questions about this.
    1) We have Mac Pros with two monitors running off the ATI card. Can we get another card for the TV and what connectors would we need to get it going as soon as possible?
    2) What else can we run on this third monitor (DVDs, iDVD movies/Final Cut Express movies)?
    All help would be much appreciated. Thanks
    Jason

    1) You can purchase an additional ATi X1900 XT for the MP you want to connect the TV to. All of the cables required will be in the box (assuming you buy an Apple MP version). You could buy an Nvidia 7300 GT although mismatching cards is not recommended by Apple.
    To try it you can always rip out the ATi card from another MP and bang it in. Be aware that you will need to modify the PCIe bandwidth configuration and you MUST use Slot 2. This is the only other slot that can handle the power requirements of the X1900 XT.
    2) You can display anything you would otherwise be able to on any other display. It'll just be another display.

  • Adding a third (down" behavior to my navigation buttons

    Hello, I've designed my first two-state navigation bar using
    DW-generated behaviors (Javascripts).
    I have an "up" (inactive) graphic, and a "mouseover" graphic
    working. I also have a "down" state
    graphic created, but don't see how I would apply that in
    Dreamweaver. This means I have to go
    in and modify the nav bar on every page (swapping out the
    "up" graphic for the down, as the default),
    a real hassle.
    I'd like to modify the Javascript so that the "down" state
    button is displayed whenever
    the browser address = the page's address (when you've landed
    on that page).
    I don't see a way to do that in DW, but perhaps there is a
    way? Or would it require
    manual JavaScript coding?
    If I can get the third (down) state added to every button in
    the nav bar, then I would be able to maintain
    ONE nav bar and just replicate it on every page. What would
    be the proper way to set that up, so changing the
    nave bar one place would change it everywhere (without using
    templates?).
    The url is www.pulversbriar.com (the horizontal nav bar).
    I've also attached the code for the table that the nav bar sets
    in, on the "attach code" button.
    I am going to have to rework my button graphics, don't like
    the way they turned out (dark at the center when active),
    but that is an easy task in Fireworks. I'm more concerned
    with getting a single nav bar working first, per above.
    Going to have to learn some Javascript coding... thanks in
    advance for any help...

    I think I may have figured out how to do (at least part of)
    this in DW. My new
    'nav bar code) is attached. I added a third behavior,
    onMouseDown,
    but the third ("down") graphic doesn't work reliably on all
    buttons.
    Wonder if I should have used the "onKeyDown" behavior
    instead?
    I want the darker button to display when you're on a page.
    I manually copied the nav bar to each of the 10 pages. At
    least it's now
    the same for every page. But I would like to have a way
    (without using
    frames or templates) to keep the nav bar in one place, and
    just "invoke"
    or call it, on every page it's used.
    I also fixed the button graphics... that was the easy part:)
    Am I approaching this reasonably correctly, without getting
    too fancy?
    thanks....

  • Windows 7 won't boot after adding a third partition with gparted

    I needed extra space on my bootcamp partition so I :
    1. resized macintosh hd partition with disk utility
    2.booted with gparted live disk and "growed" the bootcamp partition
    Now Windows doesn't boot. Any suggestions?

    Hi,
    your Topic says '...adding a third partition' whereas in your message you don't mention this third partition...
    So what is the right one ?
    Nonetheless you might have a look at EasyBCD http://neosmart.net/dl.php?id=1 to repair the Windows 7 bootloader.

  • Adding a third level to netbeans sample simple mobile game ?

    The tutorial at
    http://wiki.netbeans.org/CreatingJav...edLayerToScene
    helped me make a simple game with 2 levels, The first level being the forest level and the second one being the Desert level. I managed to make both these level work. As soon as the sprite Karel moves to the bottom right edge of level 1, level 2 is displayed, which also works fine. But now Ive made a third scene which I want to start as soon as the sprite Karel reaches the bottom right of the level 2 (i.e desert scene)
    I know that this portion of the code make the level 2 load as soon as Karel reaches the bottom right.
    public void run() {
              Graphics g = getGraphics();
              while (!this.interrupted) {
                   //switch to 'Desert' scene once the main sprite moves
                   //to the bottom right corner of scene 'Forest'
                   if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 340 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 340) {
                        try {
                             this.ground = this.gameDesign.getSand();
                             this.colliders = new TiledLayer[] {};
                             //remove all current layers
                             while (this.lm.getSize() > 0) {
                                  Layer l = this.lm.getLayerAt(0);
                                  this.lm.remove(l);
                             //load the 'Desert' scene
                             this.gameDesign.updateLayerManagerForDesert(this.lm);
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                             e.printStackTrace();
                        //reset the viewport
                        this.viewPortX = 0;
                        this.viewPortY = 0;
                        this.lm.setViewWindow(this.viewPortX, this.viewPortY, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
                        this.lastDirection = -1;
                   }But how can I do the same for level 3 to load? I tried adding the following code in the run function but it ran level 3 instead of level 2
    if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 300 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 300) {
                        try {
                             this.ground = this.gameDesign.getSide();
                             this.colliders = new TiledLayer[] {};
                             //remove all current layers
                             while (this.lm.getSize() > 0) {
                                  Layer l = this.lm.getLayerAt(0);
                                  this.lm.remove(l);
                             //load the 'Wall' scene
                             this.gameDesign.updateLayerManagerForWall(this.lm);
                        } catch (IOException e) {
                             e.printStackTrace();
                        //reset the viewport
                        this.viewPortX = 0;
                        this.viewPortY = 0;
                        this.lm.setViewWindow(this.viewPortX, this.viewPortY, this.getWidth(), this.getHeight());
                        this.lastDirection = -1;
                   }

    I think that the problem is in your 'if' conditions where you check the current position of the Karel sprite. The second condition
    if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 300 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 300)is met before the first condition
    if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 340 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 340)That why you go straight into level 3.
    I suggest you declare another variable, for example 'level' where you will store the current level number and employ this in your conditions, e.g.
    if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 300 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 300 && level == 2)
    if (this.spriteKarel.getX() >= 300 && this.spriteKarel.getY() >= 300 && level == 1)That should do the trick......
    One important thing to add. When you move one level up do not forget to bump your level variable by one (level++).

  • How do I use my old iMac as a third display on my new MacBook pro?

    I have both an iMac 2006 and a new 2011 MacBook Pro. I would like to use the old iMac as a second, prhaps third, monitor. How do I tturn my perfectly good iMac into a regular monitor?
    Also, within my setup, I have an extra 19" vga display and a new Yiynova 19" interactive pen display. I would like to use my macbook pro as the main coputer and the rest as displays.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    If your iMac has got Mini-DVI, you have a 17, 20 or 24-inch iMac that doesn't support Target Display. Late 2009 and Mid 2010 27-inch iMacs, and iMacs with Thunderbolt can be used as external displays. Read > http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11302?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    If your old iMac doesn't support Target Display mode, you can use ScreenRecycler to use your old iMac as an extended display for the new iMac. The only thing you need is that both Macs are connected to the same network

  • Adding Scroll to Display

    Hi ive been reading through the scoll tutorials but still cant add a working scroll bar to my display. This is what ive come up with so far:

  • Change display order between second and third display

    I have a MacBook Pro Retina 15" (2012) with 2 external displays (Dell 27 and Samsung 24). I use the Dell as main display. My problem is with FCPX. I want to use my Samsung 24 as Second Display to see my video material in it with the option "Show events in second display", but OSX set the macbook display as second and the samsung as third. So, I only can see the events in the macbook and the timeline in the Dell. (Unless I close the Macbook. losing one display. I'd rather keep the 3 to use one of them (macbook) with a Finder window).
    Anyone can help me with this or is impossible to change teh order between the macbook display and the Samsung 24?
    OS X Yosemite 10.10.3 / FCP X 10.1.4

    Another way to put this: in my original instructions, do step 1 after steps 2 and 3:
    (Start with FCP in single window mode, in whichever display, it does not matter)
    2) 1) Open System Preferences->Displays, click on "Arrangement"
    3) 2) Drag the visual representation of the Menu Bar to the display that you want to use as "second" display in FCP X.
    1) Move FCP X's single window to the display you want to use as your main display.
    4) In FCP X, choose to put the viewers events on second display.

  • Newly added column not displayed in Interactive report

    Hello,
    I have a tableA with 3 columns.In the application i am displaying as Form with Report region as Interactive report(Oracle 10g Application Express 3.2).
    I added one column to tableA.Now when i am refreshing the report by adding that column in the select query,the new added column is not displayed in the application.
    How can i do this so that the added column can be displayed.I dont want to delete the whole thing and redo it again.
    Thanks
    Siya

    Hi Siya,
    The Interactive Report will not show you the newly added columns by default. You have to select those columns from the actions menu and when all the required fields are displayed then save it as the default report.
    Then you will be able to see all the columns.
    Hope this solves your problem.
    Thanks,
    Satish.

  • User entries in report templates: a new entry added cannot be displayed

    Hi all,
    I have the following issue in the EH&S module. I added a new field as a user-entry in a specific report template (under transaction code CG43). It is a non-standard field added thanks to the user-entry functionality. After that, I got to transaction CBGL_MP01 in order to display a label and populate my user -entry field with a value and it happens that the object description cannot be seen. Have a look at my screenshot enclosed, please.
    This is happening under Delivery / Make-to-Stock scenario but the field is fully visible under GENERIC scenario.
    The thing is that, adding other fields (standard and non-standard) does not happen the same thing. It is only with this field. I am puzzled.
    I would appreciate any advice / comment / help on the matter, please.
    Thank you so much

    Hi
    But the same field is displayed on other scenario ?
    [This is happening under Delivery / Make-to-Stock scenario but the field is fully visible under GENERIC scenario.]
    In that case, there would be two possibilities
    1. Authorization : But you checked & its positive.
    2. Since its your custom made symbol, there may be some problem in fetching the description data (my guess. may be wrong).:
    So may be you check out the Program used for these particular Scenarios. Check label printing transaction program & Function module for Data Determination. (May be helpful.)

  • Adding a third hard drive without an extra controller...

    I've got a G4 PowerMac (800MHz single CPU, a QuickSilver I think) for which I'd like to add a third drive without (if possible) adding an extra IDE controller in. Now the only obvious spot is in the floppy tray under the CDRW. Unfortunately the side holes in the tray don't quite line up with the HDD mounting holes, so I thought about drilling through the bottom of the tray to use the bottom holes.
    The IDE cable isn't long enough (and I haven't found any long enough) to connect to the existing expansion spaces for hard drives and then to the CDRW.
    Other than modifying the floppy/tape/zip tray, any suggestions?

  • SAP BW query - new keyfigure added but not displayed in CR

    Hello Experts,
    I´m using a CR2008-Report on top of a BW Query. Now I´ve added a new key figure to the query, but in CR the new key figure isn´t displayed. But it is displayed if I open the query again as a second 'table'. Is there a possibility to get the new key figure displayed also without opening the query as a second 'table' ?
    I don´t want to 'reconfigure' all my reports in the future completely if there are new key figures !
    Thanks for your help in advance !
    Frank

    The same applies if I change the selection critiria for a character infoobject: e.g. there was a fixed selection in the filter, and now I want that the user is able to select freely via a variable. It does only appear in Crystal Report if I add the query again. So do I have to rebuild the whole report then ???

  • How to display current time when the inputs are added together and display intervals every sec?

    Hi, I added the values together but the time in the graph is not showing the present time.
    The one that is not displaying the current time is the voltage graph.
    On the x-axis of the voltage graph i want it to display every second interval.

    You also shouldn't be using the local variables.  Instead, actually add up the signals from the wires.  What you have there is a race condition since you can be reading from the local variables before the terminal is written to.
