Given the machine story so far can you reveal how long since you did the usual canned air on the heatsinks (maintenence)?
I find many users never do that.

Hi all,
I have a Mac Pro running dual Quad-Core Intel Xeon processors. I use two displays, an Apple 30" cinema display and a 27" display, which I use side-by-side. Recently, my 27" display has been having difficulties that are reminiscent of the special effects used in the Matrix movies when the character is dodging bullets - when moving an open document or window on the 27" display, it suddenly begins leaving a trail of ghost images behind that completely muck up the screen. Generally, I can correct the problem by grabbing another open document and moving it all over the screen - in effect using it to "wash" away all the duplicate images. I'm trying to figure out if this is a problem that can be easily corrected (perhaps a memory or cache issue) vs. some sort of fatal hardware or video card issue. I have a screenshot of this, but I'm a newbie to this forum and unsure if I can easily link it to my post. I'd be grateful for advice with this problem.
