Hi guys, wasn't really sure which section to put this in as it covers a number of issues:

We have two Frex based motion simulators that we only use with rFactor. We currently use 720p projectors in a prepared simulator room onto the wall. I am spec'ing up a new pc and due to rFactors low hardware requirements I can be frugal here so am thinking, i5 2500K, P67 mobo, 4GB RAM and maybe, if I could get away with it, a Radeon 6870? The idea is to replace the projectors and set it up with 3 x screens, ultimately these will be big 50" units, but for now we are looking at the Dell U2412Ms if suitable? Given that we are used to 1280x720 and a three year old lowly Shuttle PC running rFactor would it be safe to assume we would be able to run at a higher resolution, ie would the 6870 be able to drive the three Dells at 1920 x1200 and rFactor at as near to maximum settings as possible?

Appreciate your advice and sorry so many questions!

I would still get 8GB RAM as it is very cheap. But as for performance, I don't know the game so well so can't say. But I guess it should work fine with those 2412M's.
