Setting up a new workstation
Hi all,

I'm about to build a new workstation and was thinking about running Solaris 10 on it.

First the hardware:
AMD opteron 2.2Ghz dual Core
2GB RAM
Nvidia Quadro FX1400
SATA 2x250GB HDD
2x Eizo S1911 Monitors

Will Solaris handle the dualscreens or will i have to use only one? Also, I'm use to run Vmware on my current workstation and does it exist something similar in Solaris?

you could use XINERAMA for dual screens (or more)

solaris comes with an nvidia driver and an nvidia settings tool. it's very easy to configure the second screen after the installation!
