Yeah, that's probably why I'll never take the map public, just something to practice mapping techniques and for my friends to mess around with.

Yes, I do have all the video settings maxed out for GE:S with an Nvidia GTX260.

That would be correct ( except the "Admin" station, which has 4 monitors  ;) )

$$$$ video card for them.

Does it actually, or is that just for the sake of the map?

Each computer has dual monitors, except the one which has 4. 

All the Dell XPS's came with Nvidia 8600 GTS's, and the other Dells all have some lower end ati card. Each of the ATI and Nvidia card's have dual DVI ports on them, allowing two monitors per card.

I was able to find a spare ATI card somewhere in our stuff, and threw it in one of the XPS's, stealing its 8600 and putting it the Admin station, thus having dual 8600's and 4 monitors (which can also be put into SLI, which of course drops you back down to two monitors, but increased performance).  Its amazing how fast you use all that screen real estate when you have multiple remote desktop connections open to servers with browsers, word documents, etc.

And hey, the business college pays for all of it, so I have nothing to complain about. It's a fun job, despite all the newbies wanting their password reset daily :P
