For those of you who do not wish to devote an entire monitor to the P3 
SVGA output, here are some final results of my testing:

1. Running WIN7 ultimate (32) on an older DELL dual core 3 GHz machine...
2. Running K3, P3, FLDIGI, FLRIG connected to this machine and working 
satisfactorily...
3. Running AVerMedia Game Broadcaster HD (short PCIx slot) (aka 
AVerMedia C127 PCIe Capture Device) on this machine...
4. SVGA output of P3 connected to (S)VGA input of AVerMedia card...
5. Running a 24" and a 21" monitor off an NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT display 
card in this machine...

The P3 output displays properly and without noticeable delay IN A 
RESIZEABLE WINDOW on either monitor, while FLDIGI and FLRIG run 
peacefully on the two monitors. Other windows also display on these 
monitors, and can be given focus if needed (e.g. email, DX Sherlock, etc.)

The frame grabber card sells for <$150 on Amazon.com and is probably 
available cheaper if one shops around.

I will send a couple of screen shots off reflector to whomever wants to 
view them.
