Dear Friend:
What is the minimun and desireable video card (two monitors) for the ACEDVIO - VEGAS VIDEO?
First tried with NVIDIA GEFORCE4 MX440SE 128RAM but undoubtely the video overlay is bad because this is mainly a game card. After that I put my old G400 FLEX 3D card from Matrox (AGP2X) and I can see practically nothing when trying to trim and work with clips in trimmer or in timeline.
Thanks in advance

All the video card needs is enough RAM to display the desktop at the resolution you desire at 24bit color. If you have two monitors running at 1280x1024 then you need 8MB of video RAM. Other than that, Vegas doesn't give a darn what kind of video card you have and anything beyond that is a waste.

Unless you're a gamer and have the need for speed, get a video card that supports dual monitors. Vegas works with one monitor but two is a much more efficient configuration.
