C/T post: Tips for multitabling

Stealthy,

Check out the Internet forum, but I think the general consensus was that the Dell FP 2001 is superior to the FP 2007. You might still be able to get a 2001 cheap on Amazon or somewhere. I have the FP 2001 and it rocks.

I'm no techie, so maybe someone else can expand more on this.

Thanks 4 2 it.

Looks like the 2007FP may be better if widescreens are not so good. 2007FP

Only £23 more (around $40) so no real difference in price.

Would help if I wasn't so PC illiterate!

great post EMc. as someone who has never multi-tabled in earnest before, reading this post has convinced me to try 2-tabling today.

Nice. Ed didn't mention it in the OP, but add tables one at a time. Don't go crazy all at once.

so i shouldn't start 12 tabling right away then? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

I just got 2 more monitors. 24 tables with no overlap

Finally, a no limit thread where I have something useful to say...

Mouse with thumb trackball, I love this thing. Wish I'd switched years ago.

Try the Internet/Computer Technical Help forums also.

1GB of RAM should be plenty. Worry more about your graphics card. Make sure Dell puts something strong in there.

1600x1200 fits 4, so I don't think 1680x1050 is going to help at all. I'd get the straight 2007FP (1600x1200) rather than the 2007WFP. In fact, I'd get two of them. In fact, I'm going to some day. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

lol

Just for info why would you get the FP as opposed to the WFP? Is wider not better even if the slighter high resolution makes little difference? Or are they just more unreliable?

You are a bot.

At 1600x1200, the FP will fit 4 tables with no overlap. But if the WFP is 1680x1050, you have a height problem.

Damn I missed that! Just focused on the first number more. Has to be the FP then.

Cheers Chipstorm may have saved me making a silly mistake there.
