[QUOTE="chscag, post: 1197983, member: 46727"] I'll let our Mac Pro experts answer your questions regarding the three monitor setup and which video cards to purchase. It just depends on what you need Windows 7 for. If you do not intend to run graphic intensive games or a program which requires fast 3D rendering, running Windows 7 using VM software would suffice. And you would not need a separate partition. However, if you need the full graphic power of your machine in Windows 7, then it would require using Boot Camp to create a separate partition for installation. That also requires rebooting each time. Using the VM method negates having to reboot. [/QUOTE]
