Getting Started
SURROUNDVIEW™ provides the power and convenience of
multi-adapter, multi-monitor support for computers that use
internal ATI integrated graphics processors (IGP). Using
SURROUNDVIEW, ATI’s RADEON™ 9100 IGP in
combination with an external ATI AGP graphics card, can
support up to three, independent monitors.
Multi-monitor capability increases productivity — read email
on one screen, work on a spreadsheet on another, and create a
document on another. SURROUNDVIEW is also ideal for the
office environment: a brokerage can monitor trades, place
orders, and sell — each on a different display.
When the home office computer is not being used for work, it
can be used to play the latest games, several of which can take
advantage of SURROUNDVIEW's multi-monitor feature. With
Microsoft® Flight Simulator, cyber pilots can move different
views to separate monitors.
Getting SURROUNDVIEW up and running requires only two
steps:
• Install an external ATI AGP graphics card — page 7.
• Enable SURROUNDVIEW in the BIOS — page 9.
