Hello,
I assume this is discussed regularely here, but as the technical situation is also changing rapidly I thought to just ask...
On my current laptop I can't render GEM windows on the secondary VGA output which is probably due to the lack of power of the graphics card. Therefore I'd like to know more before buying a new laptop (for which PD/multimedia work will be the main criteria).
So, are there any experiences with the nVidia GeForce Go 7600 or 7400 cards? Two Sony laptops I'm thinking about have these. I remember once reading about ATI cards being preferrable. But I'm not really sure anymore if this was related to _audio_ performance or linux installation (which is something I will hopefully tackle this year). Unfortunately there seems to be no specific information available on the nvidia home page which options are also supported on the secondary monitor.
Thanks for any hints Urs
