With SLi motherboards you can use 2 dual head graphics card to run 4 monitors - but only when you're not in SLi mode, as then only 1 card will be outputting a display.
Not sure how you can do 6 screens. Matrox have triple head cards, but they're not PCI-E IIRC.
Might be worth contacting these people. They sell multiple monitor setups and should be able to give you some guidance on what cards work for 6 VPU displays.
Up to 4 monitors from one PCIe x16 slot.
Not cheap though...
edit: And it'll be no good for 3D...
Surely 2 x PCI-E cards and one dual head PCI card?
Why the heck do u want 6 anyway! :crazy:
My thoughts too.Quote:

That's right, isn't it, robomelon? :surrender:
You wouldn't mind posting a web-link to your choice, would you? It would help "consolidate" the thread.Quote:

Many thanks in advance.
That guy's last post was almost 3 years ago - I doubt he'll see your post.
Oh, well, we live and learn. (Thanks again for your help in the other thread as well, btw.)Quote:
