4 monitors,1 pci express and pci vga card - can it work?

Hi,

I am wanting to set up my pc with 4 monitors that will display different
things on each,that is if i open 4 different web sites,one of each
monitor,each monitor will have something different displayed.

The motherboard i have is the MSI P4M890M,a pci express vga card and 1 pci
vga card that fits into the regular pci slot (slots for dialup modem etc).
Will it work?

I often use a 2 monitor setup,and i use the control
panel/personlisation/display settings to "extend" the display onto the
second monitor,and it can display for example a different web page to the
other monitor.HOW do i extend it onto another 2 monitors? There is no option
in the control panel/personlisation/display settings to extend it onto
anymore monitors (maybe because there are no more,yet?)? Or is it more
complicated than that??
How would i enable the pci vga card (not pci express) in the bios perhaps?


thanks

If said cards can handle two monitors each - then you should be able to
support 4 monitors in whatever configuration you desire.
If said cards cannot handle two monitors each - then you cannot do what you
desire... Unless one is a triple-head?

Essentially - do both cards have two VGA, DVI or one each connections?

the 2 vga cards each have 1 dvi and 1 analog plugs i think,or the one i
already have has at least.
If there are 2 analog plugs on the vga card,will it still work ??

thanks
