I want to build a PC with 3-4 monitors using a cheaper option
(either 0/1 AGP card + 1-3 pci cards) rather than an expensive
AGP card with 3 or 4 outputs like Matrox Parhelia or Nvidia Quadro. (I
have no interest in 3D performance. This machine is for desktop work).
Am thinking of getting some old PCI video cards with ~4 MB video
memory.
Can anyone tell me of any motherboards with on-board video (AMD socket
A)
that does not disable itself once AGP or PCI graphics cards are
inserted?
e.g. for a 4 monitor system, 1 will use on-board video, 3 others use
either
3 PCI cards (keeping on-board video enabled in BIOS) or a combination
of AGP and PCI cards.
Has anyone used this kind of setup before and with what
motherboard/graphics cards?
TIA
