What is the benefit in combining Matrox MED Series and Matrox RAD Series boards for a three-headed display instead of using a single Matrox AuroraVX3mp?
Depending on the display resolution of the three displays, you may run out of onboard memory and not have hardware accelerated 3D. If you need hardware accelerated 3D, then a better solution would be to use a Matrox RAD display controller board to serve as the NC along with a Matrox MED board. Matrox MED is PCI-64/66 board compatible with PCI-32/33 and PCI-X slots, while Matrox RAD Series is available in AGP, PCI-32/33, and PCIe x16 configurations, allowing the use of any Matrox RAD Series board with any Matrox MED Series board, provided you have enough PC slots.
