Replace Your Windows With LCD Panels

I really wanted to do full motion video, but PCI bandwidth is standing in my way. So with multiple PCIE vid cards, any suggestions on how to split a full motion video stream in Linux?"

  1. PCI Express (why?) by sethstorm · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    If it wasnt for the (illogical) skip from PCI->AGP but the one to PCI-X (and then to 2.0), there'd be plenty of systems out there with the I/O (read: server type boards with loads of PCI-X/PCI-X 133 slots). At 3-5 slots average, you'd have more trouble finding LCD's to use with them.
