Greetings,
Just a quick update on my experiment ( 5 clients on one PC with 2 monitors)
1. Extra long upload time.
I have found out that moving around the mouse over each popping up instance/client (without clicking) actually makes them to relocate asap.
Thus I now load all 5 clients, in proper location, within 30-45 sec.
I have no idea why but that is the way it works for me.
If I don't move the mouse over, I'm in for 5-10 minutes load time and a failure of one at least.
2. Getting non-blurry clients.
Now this one is trickier.
I use two wide screens with 1680 * 1050 resolution each.
When I apply the Horizontal Span, I get a 2560 * 1024 resolution.
Which isn't enough as I need 3360 (1680 wide * 2) and 1050 height.
It seems that a single GFX card isn't capable of handling that, including high-end ones at 600 USD/euros a piece.
Mine is an ATi Radeon X1950 Pro 256mo. The 512mo version wouldn't make the trick, according to resellers I talked to.
So I'm going to test a setup with a second GFX card, the X1950 Pro 512mo version.
That card will handle the second monitor with the four secondary clients as I noticed that those seemed to drain more computing power than the main monitor with single client.
Note : my MSI P35 Platinum has 2 PCI-E slots but one is 16x and the second is 4x.
So I may have to experiment on which slot I'll run the main screen and the secondary one.
Maybe 256mo on 4x for the main and 512mo on 16x for secondary could be the best allocation of ressources.
I'll try and keep you updated.
