I have limited familiarity with Win7, none yet with Win8, and none with more than 2 monitors.
.
I am thinking to load Win8 64 onto an old i7-990 PC (not 990X!!) with a Quadro K2000 card (because I have one laying around unused; I believe it will drive the two monitors) and two 24" monitors (DP or DVI), this to be used for hobby technical and light CAD work; no games.
I also have a small (maybe 7 or 9") monitor with direct USB video input (also never used). I would like to use the small screen for slow system-monitoring data such as from a SysInternals program or process/performance monitor simultaneously with the main software (even though this functionality could easily be termed less than essential!).
My understanding is that I would not need special software/driver to run the USB monitor; is that correct? Is it obvious how to lock the monitoring program to the small screen? Can you suggest any tips for such a configuration or issues to look out for? --Thanks.
