Hi All:

Has anyone hooked up 4 monitors to one computer? Should
I use 2 video cards (each with dual monitor capability)?
Will Windows XP be able to handle 4 monitors and will the
operating system allow me to extend my desktop over the 4
monitors? Thanks in advance for your help and any
recommendations will be helpful.

It SOUNDS logical. I would bet Windows coould do it. I know with the 4+
port video cards, their drivers do all the work for you.

I have one machine with three monitors, and two video cards, so in theory,
your setup should work unless Windows XP has an issue with Dual View and
using it twice..
 
XP AND WIN 2K WILL SUPPORT SEVERAL VID CARDS WITH MULTI MONITOR ON EACH

I ONCE SAW A 16 SCREEN SYSTEM. (4 MATROX MULTI MONITOR G200'S,EACH WITH 4 HEADS)

AND NO I'M NOT YELLING IT'S JUST I'M AT WORK AND AM CURRENTLY USING A SYSTEM THAT REQUIRES ALL CAPS
