9 monitor setup

[stinkinggenius]

Hey guys I am hoping someone can help me out with a problem.

I do some IT work for a real estate company that has a setup where they run 8 monitors with either a different web page or Powerpoint presentation running on each screen(plus a monitor in a closet next to the machine for doing setup work). The computer is a newer i5 with Windows 7 (x86) 4GB ram, decent 7200 RPM HDD, but they have older Nvidia Quadro video cards. What I am wondering is, would it help adding more memory and installing a 64bit version of windows - if so how much memory should I put in.

I've never used a setup with more than a couple monitors so I am unsure what will make the most difference.

If you are running out of memory, adding more memory will help.

i have a 6 screen setup using the nvs400/450 series.

Memory definitely helps. Those nvidia quadro are 2d cards, they're great for things like powerpoint.

The problem is likely your webpages..

ie if its ie/chrome/firefox. Left running for long time, you'll see it using like 700megs of memory. Especially flash sites.

Check your memory usage on the brower apps and see where they're at.
