I do a lot of graphics (and data) intensive applications on multiple
monitors. Not only do some programs require a specific operating system, but
some of them will not work on certain CPU's. This creates some real
complications when buy/upgrading computers. It can real complicated when you
update or change software.

I have tried to emulate certain graphic computer configerations. My track
record there is about 50/50. Any big machine that I or my clients need will
go to an expert that tests this stuff out constantly in their shop.
Needless to say, anything that Microsoft or the graphic card vendors have to
say on this topic is totally non applicable for extreme applications like
this.

You have to go with what works. And in many cases, it boils down to trial
and error. You keep trying until you find something that works. Reminds me
of electroncs school many years ago. My digital teacher basically told us
that you just keep at it until you make it work. Pure tenacity can solve
many problems. It may not be high tech or sophisticated, but it gets the job
done.
