In our tests they would sometimes come up out of order when rebooting but 5 out of 6 times they would stay in the sequence we left them in.It's a little bit of a pain but sorting them out again only takes a minute.

Is there a way to lock the monitors down to specific USB ports or some other solution so that the screens will stay in order?

However I was told by 2 different sales people that I would be able to connect my Dell laptop to the touchsmart in order to eliminate the need for my old monitor. Now I find I can't do that. One suggestion was to use a graphics adapter to connect the two. Do you think this would work? I just purchased an HP touchsmart pc which I love.

It'd be interesting to do a comparison with the normal way of connecting multiple monitors - i.e. via extra graphics cards. Even slimline desktops tend to have at least three PCI/PCI-E 1x slots so you should be able to get six monitors via that method as well.One Caveat though: Vista requires all graphics cards in use to have the same driver so they need to be the same brand (ATI and Nvidia use the same driver for most cards, but I don't know about Matrox).
